I think that's the best way to view it.  In general, we want to be as
open to innovation as we can.  If that means some stubs or hooks in
the core OpenJDK for features or ports which aren't (yet) part of
OpenJDK that should be OK.  Of course, we don't want extra overhead or
fragility.

I'm going to raise this issue with the GB.
