Generally speaking, I think you're right -- there seems to be a lot of
refactoring going on that we don't want to risk putting into 6.

The javap changeset however
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/langtools/rev/7708bd6d800de34
seems to fix a lot of issues.  How risky does backporting this seem?
It applies pretty cleanly.
