+GCJ is not unmaintained, it is part of GCC.
+See <A HREF="http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/trunk/gcc/java/ChangeLog?view=markup">http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/trunk/gcc/java/ChangeLog?view=markup</A>
+
+Dropping it would be more work than not dropping it, so I don't see the
+point.
+
+&gt;<i> there
+</I>&gt;<i> are a few programs depending on it (like a few packages of ant i think)
+</I>
+Ant doesn't depend on it. There are several packages that depend on it,
+though, yes.
+
+&gt;<i> But writing a policy about the openjdk would be the right thing now
+</I>&gt;<i> because we will integrate it, it's also in mandriva but without a policy
+</I>&gt;<i> or Remy didn't find one for that.
+</I>
+Yes.
