It doesn't have to, really.  Context class loader is supposed to be "the right thing".  If it happens to be not the right thing for any reason, users can always override it with PySystemState#setClassLoader you mentioned, right?

They presumably know how to find classes of the application better.  Jython should "trust" their decision.  If that happens to be wrong, it is a bug in the container, not in Jython; and, in any case, there is still a way to override.
