Seems with what is being proposed is essentially a “no GC” type of ability … a command line option of -XX:+NoGC or -XX:+UseNoGC would probably be better understood as to what it generally does, and the consequence of exhausting Java heap space since there is “no GC”.

thanks,

If no such objections are raised by 23:00 UTC on Thursday, 18 January, or if they're raised and then satisfactorily answered, then per the JEP 2.0 process proposal [1] I'll target this JEP to JDK 11. - Mark
