How badly would the code objects be crippled?
(no exception table, no endline/column tables, qualname defaults to name)
That sounds like it would be a pain for debugging, but might still work for source/code that hadn't actually changed and was just being re-compiled and run (possibly with the caveat that the data needs to be clean enough to avoid exceptions). Since that is a common use case, and one where there is a good reason not to make any source-level changes, it would be good to keep compatibility for that minimal level. -jJ
