Oracle's plans to contribute to OpenJDK 6 after November 2012

[Dalibor Topic]

Hi,

back at FOSDEM I received a couple of questions about OpenJDK 6 future after the November 
2012 date, with regard to Oracle's planned contributions to it. Tomas Nilsson, Oracle's
outbound Principal Product Manager for Java SE let JUG leaders and Java champions
know [0] today that 

"[..] in line with no longer posting updates of Java SE 6 after November 2012 to Oracle’s
public download sites, we don’t have plans to contribute further changes to OpenJDK 6 after 
November 2012. Users of OpenJDK 6 should consider upgrading to OpenJDK 7, or, of course, 
to Oracle JDK 7, depending on their requirements."

cheers,
