I would not call it FUD, to write about a hacking project on your own blog 
complete with a Git repo and benchmarks. I take your reaction as a natural 
defensive position from a Java/JDK enthusiast. :)

Except, I'm willing to bet that the whole mess is creating a whole lot more 
FUD than anything coming out from the Mono camp. Not so much against 
Android, but the Oracle JDK ecosystem - which quite frankly has remained a 
very uninspiring place in what feels like an eternity.

It's very hard to get specifics about these things and in any case, it's
