Moving work upstream to OpenJDK is the Right Thing(TM) ;) to do. So +1 for that.
Like you say, IcedTea can continue to exist for alternative JVM
implementations like Cacao etc.

I´m not sure what the big fuss about OpenJDK 6 going on forever is. I
mean... people should use the latest greatest JVM available. What´s
the point of continuing maintaining openjdk 6?? It´s akin to people
still using JDK 1.4 or Microsoft .net 1.0
