I got a chance to talk to Valerie, and what you've done looks good. I'm "wetmore" if you need a reviewer, and I think Kelly has looked at it too.
Thanks Brad.

Will you be putting this back yourself? If so let me know when you go in, and I can update the bug once you're in.
I will, though I'll need a bug ID for it. I presume tl is ok as the forest to use?

Unfortunately, Oracle and some of our commercial (non-OpenJDK) licensees still depend on that tricky code. :( I'd personally love to strip it all out, but we have to balance all of its consumers (Oracle SE and ME, commercial source/binary licensees, OpenJDK, etc.) Andrew wrote: > I'm sure it would be easy enough to dump those classes if Oracle > started producing OpenJDK binaries licensed under the GPL, rather > than binaries from their proprietary fork. Unfortunately, not likely in our current export/import climate.
Yes, this is what I thought. We just have to make sure to test well before shipping binaries.
