Where can I find information? Do you have links?
Sure, Andrew Haley from Red Hat announced [1] two years ago that OpenJDK
6 would still be supported, and we can expect the same support for
OpenJDK 7 in the future.
Also the installation stats [2] for Debian show that OpenJDK 6 is still
strong, about twice OpenJDK 7. And on Ubuntu [3] it's a 10x factor. So
two years after the official EOL of Java 6 it's far from dead on the
server side.

Any more recent updates on the "hopes" mentioned there?

Nice; thanks.
Did you notice how the global picture seems to change when "jdk" replaces
"jre" in the request?

will be similar...]

Interesting:
193 votes for "libcommons-math-java"
0 vote for "libcommons-math3-java"
What would one conclude from that?
One of the issues with linux repositories is that some, for example Fedora, have a policy
that only one version of a library is allowed in the distribution. So if it's easier to
stick with "libcommons-math-java", because it does the job, and is already
packaged, then that's what the packagers are going to want to do.
I suspect most java developers would pull in their own version of math.
