That is true. Fortunately some of the piece we are talking about (like the java stuff in scripting for instance) hardly every change. the scripting/java directory has seen 23 commit in 3 1/2 years, only 2 of them having a possible impact on the build (as in adding/removing java files) So that negative point may not be that much of a hurdle. I haven't checked for other modules, and I certainly agree that for java-extensions and external java module like tomcat we probably don't want to go that route...
