> I don't have a good idea about what could break

I believe nothing would "break"--it's that final fields that were
previously not going over the wire would now go over the wire.

So, I guess technically that is a change in semantics--so it wouldn't
be like "oh, your GWT app fails to compile", more like "you were doing
*what* with that field...that doesn't work anymore". Or we're exposing
a value over the wire that previously the developer knowingly made
final so that it would not (seems pretty odd though...).

Okay, well, technically a flag for that already exists in the patch--I
suppose we could land it as is and then hope to maybe remove it by 2.6
or there after. I was just hoping to simplify it.

I'll plan to move it over to gerrit then...
