Please do. That said, we may also upload kotlin now even if openjdk-8 is still in the queue. As long as they enter sid in the right order, that's fine. In the worst case kotlin will be accepted before openjdk-8 and simply prevented from transitioning to testing until openjdk-8 arrives. > I’m not exactly sure this method is the preferred one, especially > given ebourg’s alternative bootstrapping path from source is > progressing admirably.

To be honest, I still have a very long way to go and I'm not even sure to succeed (I spent a full day dealing with 2 months worth of commits, and I'm only at the Q2 2015 code). They've done a great work, I don't think my approach replaces theirs, at best I may reconnect with them to provide the bootstrap compiler, or certify later that both approaches produce the same binaries.
