Well, I think that the goal of the Classpath project is to provide the
greatest possible interoperability with Sun's Java. Say I've already
downloaded program X which uses the classes in com.sun, so I downloaded
those classes from Sun. Then I download program Y which imports those
same classes from gnu.classpath.collections. So now I have to download
yet another package of the SAME classes. It's bad enough that
programmers have two different locations to find the collections classes
in (remember the com.sun.java.swing debacle?)... I'd suggest avoiding
adding a third.
