It would be nice to see the ClosedJDK part entirely disappear from
OpenJDK7. That will certainly make the build system simpler.

What is the plan for OpenJDK6? Will ClosedJDK6 and OpenKJDK6 be build
from the same tree in the near future? Or will OpenJDK6 just remove the
support for the "binary plugs" and make ClosedJDK6 a complete fork build
from its own internal Sun tree?
