'our'?
Oracle's.
Ah, I thought that's what you meant but was confused because Oracle also
do the OpenJDK6 releases as far as I'm aware.
The HotSpot team has a thicket of forests through which their fixes
flow. The OpenJDK 6 HotSpot repository is toward the periphery of this
system; the vast majority of the HotSpot changes in OpenJDK 6 come from
the stabilized HotSpot repo (ported by Andrew) with selected other fixes
applied, often from more recent but not yet stabilized HotSpot trains.
OpenJDK 6 does use the same bug database as HotSpot; however, not all
HotSpot fixes ported to OpenJDK 6 get per-release bug entries created in
the database.
