I can do that now as the config files are very close to b75 now.

I think we have a mixture. For the sun.misc I think we've concluded that
it's too risky to remove them so we have been thinking of deprecating
them. Another suggestion is that we copy some of the single-use classes
to a more appropriate class and deprecate the class in sun.misc. In any
case, I'm easy on the name - I assume it will be grouped with other
modules containing legacy stuff.
