This looks right to me.

As an aside, I think we should strike while the iron is hot and get the 
changes required to move major versions written down somewhere (maybe 
checked into the forest). I see Joe has updated the JDK_MINOR_VERSION, 
there was change required to jtreg, and probably a few other changes 
that. Having these tasks captured somewhere might make it easier the 
next time.
