I'm not sure it can be a simple thin EE update on classloading. There are
a
number of specifications that make assumptions about classloading that
may not apply or be valid any more if the classloading requirements are
changed. It's been particularly annoying trying to get them to pass
TCKs in modular environments. One example is JSTL JDBC DriverManager
support.
