A question about the relationship between VM/Classlibrary Interface and VMAccessors

Hi list,
I've been following the discussion about the VM/Classlibrary interface and 
VMAccessors and I am a little confused why to separate VMAccessors from 
VM/Classlibrary interface. I learned from the HarmonyArchitecture Wiki that 
VMAccessors provide efficient accessing to VM classes, methods and fields 
(reflection API in the classlib's term) in java, while in VM/Classlibrary 
interface that is provided by classpath, there are also some core VM* 
classes providing these APIs.
My question is: should VMAccesors be a part of VM/Classlibrary interface? 
What is the reason to move it out of VM/Classlibrary interface?
