In general, linux based ports are named linux-foo or linux_foo. So why it would be nice to see all the possible jdks grouped together in alphabetical terms, we should bow to the current practises. > > Everyone agrees that there is no need for a third digit in the version > > number?

In general ports separate into two versions as necessary. I don't think I've seen this happen on a minor release number though. In general, if there is a compelling reason not to upgrade the port, its simply not upgraded, the port isn't separated.
