Yes, we should have ccc requests to cover any new flags and any
platform-specific flags.
If a flag is generally sensible, I'd prefer to see the flag
supported across platforms.
Yes I agree, a ccc needs to be filed asap, and IMO the awt team should
be filing this, as they are aware of all the nuances of these flags.
I've filed 7131038 to address this.
Joe, do you think it absolutely needs an official -help output and a
CCC approval in 7u4 time-frame, or could it wait till e.g. 7u6?
If flags are officially supported in 7u4, then the ccc request should be
done by 7u4; I don't expect much contention about this request so it
should be approved quickly.
