Sorry, but I don't see any sense in this change!

Do you plan to do the same for the OpenJDK web pages and the OpenJDK
Wiki. Do you plan to scan all the OpenJDK mails and reject them if
they use "OpenJDK" inappropriately?

And by the way, "JDK" is an Oracle trademark as well (see [1]) so this
change is basically a NOP.
