After thinking some more, and having tried different things, it seems to me that, while alternatives are possible, nothing seems quite a slam dunk. The best and most consistent way to provide better user experience would be to add our own download logic of binaries in https://jdk.java.net - failing that, all solutions seem to suffer from some pros and cons - which don't make them a big enough improvement over the status quo, IMHO.
