There was already some discussion of this change on one of the
classpath lists.

Short form: this particular japi note is probably a japi bug.  And,
this patch doesn't actually change anything of note... interfaces
already implicitly inherit hashCode from Object (there is a special
case in the JLS for certain methods of Object).

I don't think that this patch hurts anything either.  Now that it is
in I'd prefer it remain, if for no other reason than to placate japi.
(FWIW I still want to see those RCSId patches go in as well...)
