I'm hoping you mean gcj will only be masked for new versions going
forward. I'd love to drop the entire thing but upstream IcedTea, which
is basically Red Hat, needs to provide an alternative means of
bootstrapping. You can use icedtea-bin but this doesn't help for new
architectures. They're well aware of the issue and I have pushed on it
a couple of times but haven't heard much in the way of a plan as yet.
