6 I don't see why you feel so disturbed. Sun invited us early, but
7 reserved the right to announce this themselves first. I don't see why
8 that would upset you (or anybody else, for that matter).

10 You may argue that we should have announced it to the mailing list
11 simultaneously with the JavaOne announcement, but I wasn't online for
12 the last few days, and now, the cat is well out of the bag.

14 Furthermore, we engaged the Gentoo PR team well in advance, so due
15 process was followed on the part of the Java Team, imho.
