Hi Erik,
I think you misunderstood me, currently Oracle supports most of the development of the OpenJDK financially, that's a fact and i'm glad that Oracle has taken that mantle because I'm remembering very well the sad state of Java at the time SUN was dying. 

I believe that introducing the interface SequencedCollection instead of adding the methods to Collection (i get it's not the exact same semantics) have an impact that is too big and will require more work than it should for both the maintainers of the JDK and the maintainers of the libraries having their own implementations of the Java collections.

This has nothing to do with the paycheck of some of us.
