This is not removable with an edition, its library code that'll break D2.

Here is my proposed plan:

Decouple classes in compiler from druntime, allow custom roots.

Decouple the monitor in a root class from Object, so each root class can 
provide their own.

Decouple class/interface casting from Object.

Have each interface associate it with a root class.

Swap the root class in an edition. This new root class may not have a 
monitor.

These are not in order.

Sadly when I tried getting the first step approved Adam wasn't there and 
wasn't able to advocate for synchronized statements being necessary. You 
can't just swap them with with statements and have it work out the same 
which is not easy to understand.
