If you're serious about developing Java applications, you're not going to use 
an uncertified JDK to do it. Every customer uses a certified runtime and you 
must ensure to be compliant with it. And leaving OpenJDK is an even worse idea 
after all the efforts to keep OpenJDK as full OSS and emancipate it from Oracle 
governance. It's the best we have and what has been arduously fought for. So, 
OpenJDK is an asset for Fedora (and all the other distributions), thanks to the 
Fedora/Red Hat (or Red Hat / Fedora?) Java team. 

I don't quite yet overlook the practical implications of the proposal and am a 
little bit  uncomfortable. If Fedora X uses newer versions of gcc and various 
libraries than Fedora X-2 (or even Epel = Fedora X-(4+), I imagine that could 
get problematic.  

But if I understand the change proposal correctly, everything is already tested 
and working so far. And if there's ever a problem, hopefully we'll discover it 
in time in Rawhide and the Java team find a solution.
