J2SE is Dead. Long Live Java SE!

I got email today from the JCP. JSR-270 (the umbrella JSR for Java 6) has changed its name:

The Spec Lead of the following specification

   JSR-000270 J2SE 6.0 ("Mustang") Release Contents

has updated the name of the JSR to be

   JSR-000270 Java SE 6 ("Mustang") Release Contents

The 2 is finally gone! J2SE is now "Java SE"!
