Yes, it probably would, though I don't think that is a major issue. I think it is people taking it on, without realising how much work is really required. Especially with the new P2 plugins system, simply updating the old packages isn't enough. My thoughts, if anyone wants to package Eclipse, start with just the Eclipse Platform and JDT, release as early and frequently as possible, and add plugin packages one at a time. Target only openjdk 6. And if you change your mind, please let others know. There have been a handful of people say they will start adopt Eclipse, and then are never heard from again.
