It is in portage since December 2011 and AFAIK is an improvement on stable 1.6.0. It has no open bugs against it that I know of. Can it be stabilized? Reproducible: Always
There is effectively no difference for stable archs and the others will get -r1 anyway. On the other hand there is no reason for further delay. Arch teams, please stabilize =virtual/jdk-1.6.0-r1 *jdk-1.6.0-r1 (14 Dec 2011) 14 Dec 2011; Ralph Sennhauser <sera@gentoo.org> +jdk-1.6.0-r1.ebuild: EAPI bump and simplification.
