Yes, I need to do that in a few minutes.

I don't know about that.  I do think that probably the impetus to update 
only because icedtea has changes is low.  From what I can see, icedtea 
is mostly, but not all, scripts.  A lot of it is for the tests.

I think that OpenJDK is a lot more likely to force a change in OpenJDK 
rather than the other way around.

I think so.  We produced, or at least I did, the current jdk from the 
older binary tarballs.  Icedtea may change to get different jdk tarballs.

No.  I don't think that's needed.
