Hi Frans/All,

We discussed this at FOSDEM and I think a rough plan is that the community
(including oracle and linux distros etc) will try to work towards providing
regular openJDK binaries on a wide variety of platforms.

There still needs to be a lot of discussion, planning (around
infrastructure and other things as well) but there you go.

Cheers,
Martijn
