Is there a good reason for this practice? Having seen this happen with both 7/7u and 8/8u mailing lists, it would seem to make sense to keep one mailing list instead when 9 goes GA, to avoid this confusion. It's things like this that make OpenJDK confusing to new users and I don't see the necessity for it myself. Thanks, -- Andrew :) Senior Free Java Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc.
