What should be our policy in case of a project still

exclude it from the disk for version 6.0?

I'd like hear back from projects before we make this call.
I think our options are:
1. Only ship with openjdk7 and expect all projects to
migrate to openjdk7. This would be my preference if
possible, as we will be able to save disk space, which we
can use for including new applications.
2. Ship with openjdk6 and 7, and have applications select
which version they are using in their startup script. This
will probably require all java applications to update their
startup script to select the java version they require
during initialisation.
since the 'default-jdk' package on Ubuntu 12.04 is depending on
openjdk-6-jdk, it seems a mixed message to then penalize projects
for "doing the right thing" by using the official OS sources,
when we're trying to encourage packaging into the OS.

Yes, this is exactly why I suggested using the default jdk initially.
