So, what exactly *are* those red lines in the case of dev-java/icedtea?
As I wrote in my initial post in this thread, I can see no discussion of
this in the java mailing list.

I'm like James in that I can't use IRC for serious tech discussion
(although it is a fine replacement for talkd:)  I can grok github to
some degree, so if there is a github project I can follow please point
me to it.
