I see your point: jdk beeing the "current" version and jdk5 or jdk7
alternatives like Peter said.
What about paths? Today jdk/jre install in /opt/java, openjdk6 installs
in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk. Wouldn't it be cleaner if we installed
jdk/jre files in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-{jdk,jre} or something?
