This also does nothing for things like Domino, which ship their own copies of the JVM. You can't upgrade it because the whole reason they ship their own JVM is that Java isn't sufficiently backwards compatible enough for large, complex programs like the Domino groupware server to use the systems copy.
They ship their own copy because the system copy was historically a mess. At some point in time they'll have to either use the system copy or ship a full system image, and hope users won't lynch them.
It's not so much a technical issue as a mindset issue - having several different teams maintaining the same code because they've all decided cooperating is too much work makes little technical sense really.
