You should expect people add SWT, JDBCs, and many other commonly
used package into JRE. The lib/ext is exactly designed for it! Your programs
should run smoothly all the time on all versions. If you don't do that, your 
managers
and users won't  be happy. Making them work is always developers' 
responsibility.
If SWT can cause problems as you claim, no one will use SWT.
