[Cooker] Java for 2008.1

What's going to be the Java installation plan for 2008.1?

It would seem to be a no-brainer to have the Iced Tea browser plugin
installed by default in Free. How about One and Powerpack? Do we have
any plan to evaluate whether Iced Tea is of good enough quality to
replace upstream Sun Java as the default? I think we should prefer this,
if possible, on the basis of open source being Good.

A similar question could be asked about Flash, actually. I've been
trying out Gnash again lately and found it a lot better than last time
(doesn't use 100% CPU playing back YouTube videos any more). Is this
being evaluated too?

Thanks.
