Personally, I use the modified launcher with exception protection commented out
all the time.
I recollect vaguely that introducing command line flag for disabling exception
handling in launcher was discussed and agreed upon, however, noone got to
implement it yet.
(The other "pending" task for launcher was moving it from luni module to
jdktools -- also seems to have been agreed upon and then abandoned)

I think you are being unfair to say 'abandoned' -- we agree on lots of
things but only have time to implement some of them.
Everyone is welcome to suggest fixes and enhancements, and everyone is
equally welcome to help implement them. Raise a JIRA and attach a patch.
Regards,
Tim

Raising a JIRA - with a suggested patch - would speed it up :-)

Huh, me too :). Don't know, may be raising JIRA could speed up final resolution?

There's lots of things to do. Things aren't abandoned. For example, I
haven't heard about class unloading fixes for DRLVM for a while, but
it's clearly not been abandoned...
