Joel,
I understood that and thought it was clear in my statement. "Oracle owns and manages Java, not Apple."
Starting with Java 7, Oracle has taken over 100% responsibility for Java on OS X. Are people not aware of this ?
To answer your question specifically, " when is Apple going to move past 6?"
.... Well, never, since Oracle controls all updates and distribution of Java 7 and later.
As for future updates to Java 6 ? Well, we are already past Oracles EOL for Java 6 as previously noted by Ron Colvin.
Folks might be best served by speaking with their Oracle representative and asking this same question.
Let me reiterate my previous comment... "Oracle owns and manages Java, not Apple."

Bingo. That the was the point I was trying to get clarified for everyone. Yes, I am aware of this, but many are not.
