In that environment, would you rather have a predictable lock-step rule for tool development, or would you still prefer your scheme, which optimizes for the infrequent "null" change, at the cost of guessing on a random variable?

If the JVM/bytecode level has not changed, I can't see any advantages to anyone outside Oracle/OpenJDK of a version bump.
