That would be very welcome: we (the Italian N-L Project) do not approve
all with/without JRE versions, and this fallback mechanism would help a
lot.

Every Italian Linux user visiting, for example,
http://download.openoffice.org/index.html is now being redirected to
download a build that does not exist since we haven't approved it yet;
while with this mechanism in place, he would get the non-JRE version
which we did approve.
