I had missed that it was attempting to change the delegation model (apparently, Costin didn't, that's why he was complaining, I suppose ;-)). I'm -1 for the patch then; please revert it. The use case is clearly not worth introducing non-compliant behavior; I fully agree with Costin here: if the ext mechanism is broken, then it's up to the JDK to fix it.
