" yet the decisions are made behind closed doors without any transparency"

care to explain who are these decision makers? Given the JSR and other process, curious to know who makes these hidden decisions.

Given the lack of JSRs filed for Java SE 7, the decision makers appear to be employees of Oracle (previously Sun).

Take closures for example. We were told they weren't going into java 7. Then at that one presentation on fork/join we were suddenly told they were going in. There was never much explanation behind the bipolar decision making.

This is not transparency, it's the whims of a small cabal.
