Hardy, being a LTS release, will have an emphasis on stability and
polish; but I was thinking for Hardy+1 that, like replacing SysVInit
in Edgy with Upstart, some new ideas to kick around might be nice.
So a suggetion: what about the GoboLinux filesystem hierarchy?

I installed Hardy about a week ago and installed from Hardy's repos:
icedtea-java7-bin (7~b24-1.5+20080118-1)
icedtea-java7-jre (7~b24-1.5+20080118-1)
icedtea-java7-plugin (7~b24-1.5+20080118-1)
But today I noticed that those packages are "Not Installable" as they
have disappeared from the repos.
