I can agree on that. > As for the -jni tag, I feel it's only useful in the specific case that I > indicated I'd implement in my ocf packages.

If you can provide me with information about what to change in the policy I'll be very happy with it. I need information about -gcj (not to use that) and that gcj should be seen as any other library (not use -java). I also need a phrase for the -jni name as you told me above. But I need some sort of consensus about this before I make a change in the policy.
