On the flip side, would it be possible to continue using the standard
JDK project for this? Could be there be conflicts would Open and
Proprietary bugs? If so, any tips to minimize those conflicts?

Could the project lead (possibly with requests to ops@) create
OpenJDK7-specific milestones and versions?

Thanks,
Omair
