Yes, because JDK is somewhat special when it comes to code style, issues
to track, etc. This can be handled by fine tuning the warnings we are
looking for.

I agree. But, that is harder to do when you don't own the Sonar
instance. Hence, my original question floats up again: is there a merit
to have public Sonar instance within OpenJDK, where we can fine-tune the
reports?
