After changing my tire-kicker projects to clirr I'm seeing the kind of results I was hoping for. As a follow-up, what exactly is the use case for animal sniffer? Is it really limited to JDK compat. checking? Based on everything I read (and obviously misunderstood) I thought animal sniffer would have been perfect for my use case.
