introducing system properties to skip specified checks is highly
problematic from a conformance perspective.
Can you explain what you mean by that? I'm more than happy to convert
these into -X type arguments to the runtime (or, of course, to simply
make this the standard behavior), but I thought this would be a
simpler and safer approach (at least for a first pass).
Disabling specified behavior creates a conformance issue. It doesn't
matter if it's a CLI option or a system property.
In any case, proposing a patch here is not the right way to re-open JSR
issue #CyclicDependences. Instead, I think it would be better to work
through a number of migration scenarios and see what real-issues you run
into. Do you run into cycles that can't be addressed with clean-up and
migrating to services for examples?
