Hi Aleksey,
   No we cannot turn on force_major_collect=true, you are right. Only turn
on ignore_vtable_tracing to be true by default. The force_major_collect=true
is not needed for CU, only for testing. Unloading happens when major
collections happen naturally due to heap conditions and is not caused by
class unloading. So there should be no difference. The overhead of vtable
tracing is small.

Thanks,
Rana
