i talked to david hough who is working for oracle. he said that oracle has no
business interest in libmsun at all! the mailinglist fdlibm-comments at sun.com
will be shut down and every issues etc. with libmsun shall now be discussed
here:

http://mailman.oakapple.net/mailman/listinfo/numeric-interest

this message contains a brief statement by oracle [1].

so it seems lib/msun can be moved to the list of third party software with
ceased upstream development.

cheers.
