Absolutely. In any normal time 6u10 would really be a full new release of Java. However, that would require even more overhead and time due to the complexities of putting out a new release with new API. We specifically designed 6u10 to *not* introduce any new API. This allowed us to fast track the process and get things like the new plugin, the download kernel, and better graphics acceleration into your hands much faster.
