Would someone advise whether the distribution of an obsolete version of java should be reported as a bug; http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=827
One *could* argue that Java is a bug, being a) so error-prone, b) so vulnerable to attack, and c) so huge and slow, and shouldn't be allowed....
But you'd be wrong on all counts. I'd argue the opposite - that you should only be allowed to use languages that work across CPU types and OS's so as to never be locked into a monopolistic single vendor.
