In the vain hope that we would have it come down from above in b17.
I'm not a fan of adding yet more patches to maintain to IcedTea unless
we really have to, though I'd forgotten about the release.

I'm porting it over now.  That would be much easier if we didn't have
this stupid ChangeLog.  Can we not just generate that from hg for the
releases?  Any attempts to merge between branches break because the
ChangeLogs aren't identical.  That's one of the reasons I stopped
doing IcedTea6->7 merges (though the bigger one is there is just too
many differences now)

It's in now:

Ok.

Joe has already said that he would be happy to work with the IcedTea
developers on releases of OpenJDK6.  I don't know of any time we've
ever asked for an OpenJDK6 release, so I don't see a reason for
complaint here.
