There's no specific intent right now to remove or rename all the
existing internal sun.* packages in any particular timeframe.

For a while now new JDK-specific packages, internal or otherwise,
have been named jdk.* rather than {sun,com.sun}.*, and we intend
to continue that practice going forward.

Why do you ask?
