Will you be putting this back yourself? If so let me know when you
go
in, and I can update the bug once you're in.
I will, though I'll need a bug ID for it. I presume tl is ok as the
forest to use?
This going into 8? Then yes.
7201205: Add Makefile configuration option to build with unlimited
crypto in OpenJDK.

Unfortunately, Oracle and some of our commercial (non-OpenJDK)
licensees
still depend on that tricky code. :( I'd personally love to strip
it
all out, but we have to balance all of its consumers (Oracle SE and
ME,
commercial source/binary licensees, OpenJDK, etc.)

Unfortunately, not likely in our current export/import climate.
Yes, this is what I thought. We just have to make sure to test well
before shipping binaries.
