[Flavio] Volunteered to do GC design and implementation.
I feel strongly that whatever the implementation language, Harmony
should use MMTk as the memory manager. Does anyone have a reason not
to, or has it just not been considered ?
cheers,

I agree with this observation.
I was at Java One this week. Two days ago during a Q

I fail to see how comments like this are helpful to anyone.
It's not a hostile, not at all, but the GNU guys after all those
months flerting with Harmony didn't give any firm licence
standpoint. So AFAICT, the Harmony is GNU

Probably not. At some point any VM has to do untrusted things. There
