These are not official product binaries but early access binary

What is the difference between these kinds of builds? Would it be hard
to expand these snapshots to include OpenJDK? If you already happen to
have an automated build setup around could you share it so others can
also use it?
Thanks,

Well presumably it means it still has all the old proprietary cruft
which was ejected from OpenJDK about a year ago...
That's essentially correct.
Further when we say OpenJDK7 gets a lot of testing, the testing occurs
on JDK7 binary bundles. We don't explicitly test OpenJDK7 but rely on
the extreme similarity of the two to assure quality of OpenJDK7.
