This was discussed on discuss and quality-discuss mailing lists back in the first weeks of January:
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/discuss/2013-January/002916.html
See http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/quality-discuss/2013-January/thread.html
for more discussion around it.

I think that it would be great if such testing was continuous in nature, allowing us 
to discover such issues closer to their point of origin and to address them in a timely
fashion. I would suggest getting in touch on quality-discuss about publishing, for example,
jtreg results on various platforms you're testing your 7u builds on, if you intend to do it 
regularly - it would be interesting to compare practices, experiences and results, I'm sure.
