I already explained in my previous e-mail that OpenJDK will still be
used as the package name for the OpenJDK build.  We're not going to
use it to describe the plugin and netx because that simply isn't
OpenJDK.

If IcedTea has little mindshare now, then this is exactly why we need
to make the name more prominent.  Wrongly calling things OpenJDK that
aren't isn't going to help that.
