I've no issue with any of Edvard's points, it's just a concern that the 
mailing list for the area should be included in any consideration to 
back-port a change to jdk7u. I suggest this because the folks in that 
area are probably the folks that will know about any side effects 
(potential or real) and gives them a chance to jump in if there are any 
concerns.
