Yes, but from a "business" standpoint, Java 6 hasn't EOL'd. If your business needs to build Android applications, it doesn't matter that it's technically EOL'd.

I would guess there's probably quite a few VB6 applications out there in business-land, and it's been EOL'd since 2012 IIRC. Not that most people would want to deal with them, but they exist, just like Java 6 in Android.

In addition to being supported by the community, we (Lightbend) offer commercial support for Scala 2.11. If you're paying Oracle for Java 6 support beyond its EOL, perhaps you'd be willing to establish a commercial relationship with us as well? That said, the vast majority of our customers are eagerly upgrading to Java 8 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7346224, https://info.lightbend.com/COLL-2014-10-20-Java-8-II-Survey-...)

Java6 is even less end-of-life'd than python 2.7.
