What consensus?  I just remember the discussion being left after we
could maintain it in OJ6 or in HSX14.  I really don't see the point in
having a clone of it in OpenJDK6 which has to be continuously synced.

Why is this not being done in the HSX repo?

As I already reported, the different between current OpenJDK6 HotSpot
and changeset 0 in HSX are whitespace differences.  A forced pull of 0
and a merge would then allow the other changesets to be placed on top.

What is special about b08? HSX is on b13 IIRC.
