I'll second that.  I wasn't even aware of this release until Deepak pointed
it out last week.  Are we still working on OpenJDK6?  The last time I posted
a patch it was suggested that things were winding down, so I'm a little surprised
to see another release.  We have a whole stack of patches still needing upstreaming
if they are wanted.

I see this is mainly the security updates from February.  Should it really
have taken this long to get those out?  I think that's something we need
to consider going forward.
