Hi,

As you might have noticed, 7u-osx [1] was pushed to 7u-dev [2] yesterday. There will be a build from 7u-dev today that QA will run Pre-integration testing on. During the coming week, we will make sure that any potential quirks found in 7u-dev as a result of the osx integration are fixed before next weeks (Thu 9th) build promotion. This means that from next week on the regular promotions will contain OS X bundles just like the other platforms. We will soon also make the jdk7u-osx [1] forest read only. All fixes related to the Mac OS X port should from now on go through jdk7u-dev [2] and jdk7u-dev at openjdk.java.net.

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.
