I think this statement is very misleading. As part of this "small changes", jdk.attach.allowAttachSelf will be set to false and everyone that has self-attaching agents will start failing. So to repeat myself, I think that the Java community made it clear that this feature should not be included in JDK9.

The default is true so that tools can load agents into target VMs as before. The proposal is that some future version disable this, maybe in conjunction with a signing solution. Details TBD as it's not JDK 9. -Alan
