There's no bad (i.e., security violating) situation that can arise
from this.  It is no different from Sun adding any other class that is
not yet implemented in Classpath.

There would be a namespace collision though (I'd guess the risk is small
tho')

Not an issue: code that relies on Sun's new class wouldn't compile
or run properly with the yet-to-be updated Classpath in either case!
