Many people seem to be upset with Oracle, but I think they should be upset with the vendors who ship applications/libraries that depend on the "sun.*" packages.
Fine, but why isn't the argument: "This then needs to be standardised in a Java.* package and correctly documented."
Unsafe is useful, and is evident by how popular it is. Heck even Sun/Oracle must agree because they created it for their own internal usage. So why not just go ahead and standardise it.
