--- Comment #5 from Greg Lewis <glewis at FreeBSD.org> ---
That's IMO only relevant if

1) There is still a sufficiently large group of people who explicitly use JDK 7
(unknown, the RFC would help answer this)
2) Those updates were being included in the FreeBSD port (they are not)

If the first one is true, then someone in the first group will need to provide
updates for JDK 7, otherwise the version in the tree will continue to have
security vulnerabilities.

As things stand at the moment, there are downsides to openjdk6 and openjdk7
continuing to exist in the tree given their current state, which includes
maintenance (for problems like this) and security vulnerabilities.
