Ultimately it will be limited by the number of people available to do the work, and we're trying to plan all that. Be aware that full OpenJDK support is only available on a few platforms, so there are gaps to fill. I'll try to get all the status updates done soon. We've only just completed JCK certification for OpenJDK in Fedora, and that ought to be plenty for a little while. If I haven't updated the web page in two weeks please bug me about it.
