Sounds good. This also means that we will not change the name from 
java[12]-runtime to java[12]-core (or similar). The -runtime name
is good as far as I can see.

In your mass filing make sure that you do not introduce some
new misunderstanding.

runtime according to j2se := (java1-runtime or java2-runtime) and java-virtual-machine.

Programs must depend on java-virtual-machine (because they will need it
in order to run).
