More notice would be useful in future so people can release packages
around the same time, rather than trailing it by weeks as will now be
the case.  This is the first mention I've heard of u2 on this list in
weeks, if not months.

According to:

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7u/jdk7u2/rev/50b5ada8ca3e

it's just jumped from b13 to b21.  Why is this?  What happened to the interim builds?

I imagine most GNU/Linux distros will package via IcedTea rather than
directly, hence why I was asking about which is the best tree to
update IcedTea from.  In future, it would be helpful if process issues
like this and deadlines were made much clearer to those outside
Oracle.
