I think this change would not affect the class initialization order, because regardless of whether the patch is applied or not, `java -Xlog:class+load -version` prints identical class initialization order(for j.l.Objects and jdk.internal.util.Preconditions) as far as I can see. [class_load.log](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/files/6667168/class_load.log). And tier1 tests are all passed w/o any modifications. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/4507
