Producing community binaries for OpenJDK

[Ben Evans]

I haven't heard anyone expressing any reservations about moving Tim's
repos to AdoptOpenJDK - so shall we give it another 24 hours, see if
anyone speaks up, and if we don't hear anything, just do it?

Rough consensus and running code, and all that?
