Sebb commented on LANG-1810:
----------------------------
Which says:
"If a field that was not declared final is changed to be declared final, then
it can break compatibility with pre-existing binaries that attempt to assign
new values to the field."
i.e. it will only cause issues for applications that are already faulty.
> Public static fields must be final
