"When will this Project receive security fixes from Oracle? The schedule for Oracle Java SE Critical Patch Updates is publicly available. Security fixes for this Project's source code will be made available in the JDK 7 Update Project around the same time as they're released in products from Oracle." So if security fixes are applied to jdk7u why not produce a branch corresponding JDK 7 released ? I understand Andrew questions about known source set to produce IcedTea.
