The mercurial history of openjdk6 is sadly incomplete, even when compared to openjdk7. But going forward, we have hg in place, and anyone who is managing a downstream release probably should be examining recent changesets anyways. Humans are flaky; hg is going to be a more reliable source of what's gone in. Martin
