General question: sun package -> jdk package?

[Paul Benedict]

I only asked out of curiosity. There seemed to be a migration trend, but I
didn't know what the intent was. I understand a name is just a name, but I
personally do like seeing the vestiges of "sun" being replaced with
something more universal.

Cheers,
Paul
