I am concerned. There was some discussion when various changes went into 7u-osx regarding the suitability of the changes for inclusion in the mainline repositories ie 7u-dev. It was my understanding that there would be a more extensive review and, if necessary, clean up process, before those changes were merged into the mainline 7u-dev. I have only seen that happen for a couple of specific issues. You're right, there were several concerns about some areas of the code when jdk7u-osx was setup. One was the launcher and that has since been sorted out by Kumar, another was the jnilib support, which has been temporarily removed pending a cleaner implementation. I think it's worth compiling an updated list of things that should be cleaned up although from a stability point of view then some of them may be work for jdk8 rather than 7u.
