Weighing in from a user perspective: invokedynamic is *broken* in all the current OpenJDK 7 builds...to the point that JRuby disables indy use on Java 7 right now. It's a large change to fix it, but since it's not usable right now even a broken impl would be a lateral move. That said, I've been working with Christian to make sure the new impl is solid running JRuby tests (heavy invokedynamic use), and after working through a few issues it's 100% passing our use cases. It's definitely more stable than in the 7 builds. - Charlie
