I was approached by ops to ask if we still had a need those forests and 
if they could be deleted if that was no longer the case.

That's still available through the corresponding releases' master 
forests. They contain the identical changes from the -dev forests.

My proposal only concerns JDK 7u, fwiw, as after a few years we now have 
accumulated plenty of forests we no longer need to have around. I can 
imagine that other Projects would make different choices at different 
points in time.

Does 'them' refer to all *-dev forests listed below, the *-osx forest 
listed below, or both?
