I agree, but then there's a practical problem wrt beta testing: when the
JDK reaches production quality, the porting team will be probably forced
to support multiple environments (C libraries, kernels, X11 drivers,
Linux distributions, you name it) but right now they're only having
significant testing on compatible setups. I suppose we'll have a pr2
before release, when the needed workarounds for different configurations
are implemented?
