So far Google has adopted parts of OpenJDK 7. They still don't tell anything about newer versions.

Thanks, I actually missed this. The difference with modifying OpenJDK is that it's a common codebase as opposed to a language fork. I know Redhat is one of the other major OpenJDK contributors, and a lot of distributions are relying on IcedTea. It will be interesting to see how this develops.
