How, exactly? If you mean that in 2-3 years when Intel's interest in
Harmony has evaporated, and all that code they dumped on Apache is
sitting there unmaintained, that that will convince all the GCJ and
Classpath hackers to just give up, then sure. And don't underestimate
GNU hackers' ability to continue development on "irrelevant"
projects; c.f. the HURD.
But, by then, Jitrino will have probably been merged into Kaffe, anyway.
