[7u-communication] 7u60 progress

[dalibor topic]

As the work on 7u60 is quickly coming to a conclusion, the release
is progressing according to plan. [1] The plan calls for a release in
May. So 7u60 should be released by the end of the month, which happens
to be next week - but as always, please note that these plans are
preliminary and subject to change.

Finally, speaking of changes, as mentioned in a thread [2] on the
web-discuss list, I don't think that publishing a source bundle for 7u60
separately from its Mercurial forest at jdk7u/jdk7u60 provides a lot of
value these days. It seems much simpler to point users to forest + tag
on the Project page for source code of a given release, and let
downstream users that want a separate source code archive take care of
creating one.

cheers,
