The HotSpot team has a thicket of forests through which their fixes 
flow.  The OpenJDK 6 HotSpot repository is toward the periphery of this 
system; the vast majority of the HotSpot changes in OpenJDK 6 come from 
the stabilized HotSpot repo (ported by Andrew) with selected other fixes 
applied, often from more recent but not yet stabilized HotSpot trains.

OpenJDK 6 does use the same bug database as HotSpot; however, not all 
HotSpot fixes ported to OpenJDK 6 get per-release bug entries created in 
the database.
