Concerning base Java software (Ant, servlet container, maybe Eclipse)
the effort to "port" these to run on Kaffe is being done already.
Removing contrib might or might not help this effort. After they are
in main I personally would be far less opposed to removing contrib (I
didn't see anything else really important (IMO) there - the Java
libraries would move to main in some schedule).

There is no vote yet, "just" a proposed resolution which is being
discussed.
