I've checked a bit upstream CVS changelog and it seems jsr166y is in real flux.

- all "forkjoin" package source code is now removed from jsr166y :
http://gee.cs.oswego.edu/cgi-
bin/viewcvs.cgi/jsr166/src/jsr166y/forkjoin/?hideattic=0
- "forkjoin" package is in extra166y repository :
http://gee.cs.oswego.edu/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/jsr166/src/extra166y/
- those classes have been refactored : ParallelArray.WithBoundedXXX (inner 
class) in now ParallelArrayWithBounds...

It seems Doug Lea (spec leader) has settle things down recently :
http://cs.oswego.edu/pipermail/concurrency-interest/2010-September/007420.html
(sync between jsr166y, jdk6 packages and jdk7 code-copy)

As I see that there is only one Reverse Depends: libgpars-groovy-java for 
libjsr166y-java, I propose to remove those software from testing as they 
doesn't seems suitable for a stable release and continue to work on them in 
unstable for next release.

What's your position on this, Miguel ?

Cheers,
