Mark, I agree it's not an ideal solution but I'd rather we had _a_ solution than none at all. This bug has been open for over eighteen months. Long term, of course it would be better to see the necessary upstream changes in Rhino and OpenJDK to provide a cleaner solution.

But for now, the rewriter is in IcedTea6 and it now uses a jar file rewritten to the sun.org.mozilla namespace.

Given rewriting the jar file is just two fairly independent Makefile targets and a AGPL 3 licensed Java file, it could easily be used by distros in their Rhino packages so that both jars are updated together.

This will appear in IcedTea6 1.8. It may also be worth considering backporting it to the 1.7 branch if there is sufficient demand for a fix.
