That's sort of like saying that any RISC machine becomes a CISC machine at soon as you install the JVM on it (With the caveats that I don't know if the JVM has a CISC instruction set)

If all the end users use the CISC layer and no person uses the RISC layer, then I would feel comfortable calling it a CISC machine.
