[OpenJDK 2D-Dev] Missing com/sun/image/codec/jpeg/ classes in openJDK7

I was evaluating the OpenJDK 7 on a FreeBSD 9.1 system and was surprised 
to discover that all the JPEG encoded/decode classes in:

     com/sun/image/codec/jpeg
     sun/awt/image/codec

are absent from the rt.jar.   These missing 12 classes are part of the 
OpenJDK 6 source release.

What is the reasoning for their absence?     This seems to break forward 
compatibility?
