No problem.  I have my own reasons to want to work with OpenJDK7 obviously :)

Couldn't agree more on this, but I feel the logic fails at the moment
because the icedtea (7) tree is seeing mainly merge traffic.  I have
no problem posting the few changes I make on that tree explicitly if
it's disabled.

It's not a major problem, more I foresee you having to turn it on and
off all the time.
