having this make Oxygen.1a ? Could it even be contributed + tested by
consuming projects in time ?

As you correctly pointed out in [1]: there should be an interest in its adoption by projects, and if I haven't missed anything, then seems that there no such interest.

I personally was thinking about consuming it in Eclipse EclEmma, but dropped this idea:

EclEmma already works with Java 9 thanks to workaround in JaCoCo,

there is no benefits from ASM 6 BETA for EclEmma beside removal of this workaround;

and for JaCoCo will be better to wait and properly integrate final version instead of rushing with BETA,

because it will bring fixes for bugs reported by us that were fixed after BETA [2],

master of ASM 6 already has source-incompatibility with BETA [3].

So I don't see need of ASM 6 BETA for Oxygen.1a, unless someone else requests.
