I could be wrong, but I believe the current OpenJDK and Icedtea-web approach is NOT to run unsigned applets by default, and modern browsers (ie Mozilla's Firefox) now feature CLICK TO RUN on all plug-in content. So, while I know by now -due to your repetition at every opportunity- that you hate applets, that advice is not needed anymore. There's no way code could run if you do not click-enable the plugin in the browser + grant permission on a per-site basis in the plugin's own dialogs. Plus, not installing Icedtea-web not only prevents you from running applets (which would be a plus for some) but also prevents you from running desktop apps delivered via Java Web Start (.jnlp). In the words of RedHat´s Andrew Haley on the OpenJDK list distro-pkg-dev: "(Hiding the plug-in) is truly dreadful reasoning. Either we think that the plugin is safe enough for people to use, or we don't ship it."
