Hi,

having classes ask the security manager for permission to access its own class loader when probing for assertion status during class initialization appears pointless.

For our internal JDK classloaders perhaps, but you seem to be extrapolating this to all classloaders and all security manager implementations. This would be an observable change in behaviour so at a minimum should be thoroughly examined before being changed.
