Can't remove it unless it's fixed in jdk6 as well as 7. Also, one of these days we'll get around to shipping current hotspot in jdk5 and maybe 1.4.2. How would these be affected?

paul I don't think it is used as it's not in the jdk's jvm.h yet. I checked jdk6 this morning in case it was being used there but it doesn't appear to be. I think the simplest way to get this parameter removed is to do the hotspot changes now and wait until it's in a promoted build before pushing the jdk changes. Doing it later, as Keith suggested, would require a polka lasting several builds.
