Rob - what you would think about giving this a few weeks of bake time in 
8 before pushing it to jdk7u-dev? I realize it is tempting to get it 
pushed now while the patch is fresh (and maybe that is okay), it's just 
that all changes in this area have had a history of change behavior in 
subtle ways and these take time to surface.
