At its heart the certification is a "sticker" that asserts our JDK has passed the TCK test suite. IOW, saying that we don't need certification of JDK is effectively saying that we don't need to do testing of JDK in Fedora. Comprehensive testing of software is something that very much does benefit Fedora and its users, and we could do with a whole lot more of it in general. Further elsewhere in this thread it has been clearly said that users of JDKs do indeed value the certification as a sign of quality. So I don't think we can credibly claim that certification is not needed. The challenege is how to make the certification managable for the maintainers, while also having the packaging process be amenable to Fedora processes. Eliminating testing of JDK is not a desirable solution.
