The version of bytebuddy Beam is vendoring (1.9.3) is more than 16 months old. I would like to propose that we upgrade it [1] to the most recent version (1.10.8) [2] so we can benefit of the latest improvements for Java 11 and upgraded ASM.
If everyone agrees I would like to volunteer as the release manager for this upgrade. [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-9342 [2] https://github.com/raphw/byte-buddy/blob/master/release-notes.md
