I don't think you read the question properly. The point wasn't that they
were getting it out sooner, but that they were publishing what was
termed a "almost" ready version--which should not be distributable
according to the license--the very reason we don't have access to the
Linux JDK1.2 port yet.
Unless of course, "almost" ready means it passes all the JCK but still
isn't finished?
