I found PIT described in the Glossary (thanks kto!)
http://blogs.sun.com/kto/entry/glossary_for_jdk_builds

PIT
        A formal testing process that integrators are required to go
        thorough prior to integrating their source changes into the
        MASTER area.

This glossary really should go on the main openjdk website and made
required reading for anybody daring to follow the mailinglist :)

Is there more info on what the PIT testing process precisely is?
And will it change for the new mercurial setup?

Cheers,

Mark
