That's a list of organizations that have signed the agreement (which
notably for this discussion, does not include Fedora).  I don't see a
list of "passed the test", nor do I see something on the Fedora packages
that says "passed the test".  The claim was made that this test is
important for Java users, yet I can't find any indication that Fedora's
(or anybody's for that matter) pass it.

Testing is great and important, but saying that users care about the
results of the testing is hard to understand when the test results
appear to be undocumented.
