The above suggestions definitely reflect that most commenters have not
worked on java-package.  Maintaining the lists of files to remove, which
to leave alone, which to replace with symlinks, etc. across 8 JREs and 8
JDKs is highly impractical.  Simply reviewing all of them for
alternatives installation took 16 hours for me catalog, modify, and
review this weekend.  It's mind-numbingly tedious, and this suggestion
would increase the amount of work several times over.

Sincerely,
