I'm pretty sure we don't even include the Java logo for historical
reasons. Our OpenJDK originates from the IcedTea project[1], and while
most of that project is gone now, one consequence of that is that our
Java runtime has always been considered fully functional without the
Java TCK approval and we have been used to not using 100% code from
Sun/Oracle even after we finally got the TCK to run it against.

That said, I'm concerned that validating against the Java TCK is
considered so burdensome that this proposal is even being seriously
bandied about. Has there been any upstream discussions about this?

few years, our wiki doesn't have this page)
