You still have OpenJ9 vs OpenJDK, LTS vs non LTS, completely free
software build vs supported proprietary build (Fedora does not ship the
later but some Fedora derivatives do and there is a wish for them to be
able to do it without butchering the Fedora-inherited filesystem
layout).

So yes, it is probably possible for someone motivated to invent a
better java alternative setup, but it will be a lot of work, with a lot
of constrains (one of those, being able to upgrade existing setups to
the new system gracefully)
