Hi,

I need reviewers for these related bugs:

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8170157
Enable unlimited cryptographic policy by default in OracleJDK

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8169335
Add a crypto policy fallback in case Security Property
      'crypto.policy' does not exist

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~wetmore/8170157

This change enables "unlimited" cryptographic policy by default in the 
OpenJDK/OracleJDK builds.

For those who still require the classic limited policy bundles, you will 
now need to use the following "configure" option:

     --enable-unlimited-crypto

There are still distributions that require crypto policy, so simply 
removing that code is not an option, sorry!

Brad
