You are the one playing that game. You said earlier you used MMU 
as write barrier for a GC in Java, and now you are deciding that 
this is not a write barrier anymore.

But indeed, that settle the debate. If you are down to redefining 
things as not write barriers as to pretend you can implement what 
you redefine as a generational GC (which the rest of the world 
call a compacting GC) then what is there to discuss ? You don't 
seems to be up to date about recent GC technologies and/or 
terminology used in the area.
