<h3 id="counterexamples-and-updates">Counterexamples and Updates</h3>
<p>Many of the guidelines mentioned here have (sometimes widespread) counterexamples in the HotSpot code base. Finding a counterexample is not sufficient justification for new code to follow the counterexample as a precedent, since readers of your code will rightfully expect your code to follow the greater bulk of precedents documented here.</p>
<p>Occasionally a guideline mentioned here may be just out of synch with the actual HotSpot code base. If you find that a guideline is consistently contradicted by a large number of counterexamples, please bring it up for discussion and possible change. The architectural rule, of course, is &quot;When in Rome do as the Romans&quot;. Sometimes in the suburbs of Rome the rules are a little different; these differences can be pointed out here.</p>
<p>Proposed changes should be discussed on the <a href="mailto:hotspot-dev@openjdk.java.net">HotSpot Developers</a> mailing list, and approved by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rough_consensus">rough consensus</a> of the <a href="https://openjdk.java.net/census#hotspot">HotSpot Group</a> Members. The Group Lead determines whether consensus has been reached. Changes are likely to be cautious and incremental, since HotSpot coders have been using these guidelines for years.</p>
