It might not be a good reason, or academically sound, but it's a
practical reason. If you try and push a change that would force major
rework of the existing JVM's implementations then it's not going to
get through - simple as that. My opinion of course.
A specific-notification style of design can implement the desired
semantics quite easily - if design that way from the start.
