Just wondering if there's any plans for a self extracting bin distribution
like sun/oracle has. (Specifically for linux).

This is about the only reason I can't switch (or attempt to switch) from
oracle-jdk to open-jdk.

The self extracting distributions are very very useful when you're running
multiple versions of the jdk on the same machine or want to be able to swap
between multiple version very quickly. The package installations like
rpm/yum installations makes this extremely difficult.
