I would love for these binary plugs to go away, and second best, make
them trivially available, but we are in legal territory here.
I will bring up this issue and see if we can't do what you suggest,
but I am not a lawyer, no promises.
They are a royal pain, no argument there.

important to make sure they're in some kind of source repository. Otherwise,
the whole point of keeping it in a source-code control repository
(rollbacks, check out to a label, and so on) goes completely out the window
when I can't get the corresponding binary plugs.
I can't be the only one who grew up under the rule of source control that
states, "Everything necessary to create a build must be stored in the source
repository", can I?

I'm just looking to be able to do a "svn up" (or its Mercurial
equivalent)
and know that I've got everything I need to build the OpenJDK; it's a
lot
more tedious to "svn up" then fetch the latest binary plugs
(particularly
since I'm betting they're not going to change as frequently as the
source
does), and only then do a build.
That's wrong. Every source build has it's matching binary plug. See:
