I'm hoping you mean gcj will only be masked for new versions going |
| 8 |
forward. I'd love to drop the entire thing but upstream IcedTea, which |
| 9 |
is basically Red Hat, needs to provide an alternative means of |
| 10 |
bootstrapping. You can use icedtea-bin but this doesn't help for new |
| 11 |
architectures. They're well aware of the issue and I have pushed on it |
| 12 |
a couple of times but haven't heard much in the way of a plan as yet. |
