I agree, I don't think there's positives for the user experience here. And I don't understand what actual problem this change is trying to solve? Are people really installing OpenJDK RPM packages, taking the "/usr/bin/java" binary, and putting it onto some other system? Unless that's really the case (and I don't think that should even ever be supported for distro packages), I don't see a reason to change how we build OpenJDK. Also, I am particularly concerned with this statement from the linked follow-up change: "After this change is in air, we will certificate each binary only once, and redistribute." I cannot see how Fedora RPM packages for OpenJDK can redistributing pre-built binaries would ever be considered acceptable.
