Thanks for making that point.

The downside of the context class loader is that Jython can't determine who set it. Assuming that a Jython user set it to make more classes available is not very safe. JavaEE containers differ on what they do with the context class loader (and some do really evil things), so you can't just trust that it will be a child of the classloaders you have tried first.

Anyway, we will do all what we can to keep this, at least for backwards compatibility.
