I don't have a source, but I know tail calls have been implemented (in
a patch) and tested, and at the JVM Summit everyone was saying this
was definitely going to be released in JVM 7.

Source, please? JSR-292 seems the most likely candidate so far,
and its draft doesn't seem to mention tail calls yet. As of March
this year, the people working on tail calls for mlvm [1], which
seems to be the experimentation ground for this, did not seem to
expect any fast route:

There have been years of rumours and plans, so it would be nice to
have concrete details, before any fp-on-jvm implementation
design starts to rely on this.
