I'm not sure of the timeline for hs17.

At some point, the copyright notices in the OpenJDK 6 repo will be 
changed from Sun -> Oracle.  A more general announcement about this 
process and the new conventions will be forthcoming.  Making these 
copyright changes, at least in the langtools and jdk repos, might 
warrant a separate build with just those changes, in which case the 
upgrade of the HotSpot sources to HS 17 (with changed copyrights?) might 
occur in build 21 or later.
