Someone said further up that the it makes the Java SIG's life easier. These days the Java SIG is pretty much one guy maintaining hundreds of packages: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/java-de...@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/MQMRQVENBLDRS67WLNQ7EOCMSDI5WIET/ So if we want a Java stack in the distro at all and you are not willing or able to lend a hand, then by all means let him maintain those packages in the most efficient way he can. It's not about forcing modules onto users, it's about not forcing more work than necessary onto already overstretched maintainers. -- Mat Booth http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora
