OpenJDK 7 source releases

Will <http://download.java.net/openjdk/jdk7/> be updated to include
security and other fixes, or is this source release set in stone?

I'm asking because I saw this in README-builds.html (from the jdk7u
forest):

| NOTE: The Complete OpenJDK Source Bundles
| <http://download.java.net/openjdk/jdk7/> will contain the JAXP and
| JAX-WS sources.

If there are self-contained source releases, I wouldn't have to jump
through hoops to integrate the source drops.  But I don't want to miss
security fixes, either.

On the other hand, if <http://download.java.net/openjdk/jdk7/> is not
supposed to receive future updates, it shouldn't be referenced from
README-builds.html, IMHO.
