I don't agree.  I think that we will certainly have sun packages like
sun.misc.Unsafe, and I suspect there are a few others that we'll want to
have to not irritate our users at first as they try their existing
programs and they fail.

Over time, we should get rid of them though...


I afraid if we put such stubs for sun.* classes then users won't be warned
that their programs have this dependency. And when we'll remove them then
... ops, surprise

Thanks,
Stepan.
