Don't expect to get an answer for Sun. They are seriously disconnected from real-world programming and to arrogant to take the opinions of bread-and-butter programmers into account.
Wow, bitter today, are we?
I have been reading the blogs at java.net, and I see a lot of open and vigorous discussion about what to include and not.
I agree with one thing though, I too would like to see a "stability and polish" release that fixes (among other things) Swing and AWT bugs. However, it seems you and me are in the minority. If you read what people are saying, it seems more people ask for "new cool feature X" rather than bug fixes.
With regards to the grandparent post, there was one guy who blogged here at Java.net who worked at Yahoo. He wrote an article about what he would like to see most in Java - a modular JDK integrated with webstart, that is very slim to begin with and only downloads what is required. Plus some other ideas that could make Java compete better with other client platforms such as Flash.
This article was linked to by many, and now this guy (forgotten the name, Nate something?) got hired by Sun...
