I'm in favor of the system-wide nature. It only makes sense. Why would you have some apps in production mode and others in development?

Perhaps obscure debugging scenarios.

Yes, but I'd like to get agreement that we don't care about the Servlet
EG's opinion on the VM-wide nature of system properties.

In fact, I'm on the phone with Bill Shannon, Roberto Chinnici, Rajiv
Mordani, and the Sun EE architects right now for our weekly meeting.  I
have requested a timeslot to bring this up (again) there.  I'm glad I'm
on the phone because otherwise, I might get tomatoes thrown in my face.
