Great. I was surprised if it was otherwise.
I was just confused which tree to track to make sure to get the latest
HS14 since we are trying to keep all branches (zero/shark/default) of
IcedTea6 at a stable Hotspot release. Is this in the default
jdk7/jdk7/hotspot tree or in some other one?

Thanks,

Mark
