My understanding is, the problem is with the 1.7 version plugin for the
browsers. Standalone JRE is ok. OTOH, many folks have trouble with
the disable java buttons or aren't clear on the distinction between the
plugin and the runtime, so they're getting advice to uninstall it
completely. Which they may be unsuccessful at if they don't understand
why they are getting the advice in the first place.
I suspect there's a whole lot of background procurement politics and
marketing FUD going on here as well. Once you've raised an alert to
orange, nobody wants to take responsibility for going back to yellow.
