That really is not true. But maybe we were doing to much to keep any java somehow alive. This proposal will untie our hands, and we wil be able to focus to toher things - exactl those which you propose. > We've also lost most of our Java based apps to even test OpenJDK with. > What the heck are we supposed to do to test and give karma?

And JDK world is moving into this direction. If we will not be allowed to do so, JDK can leave fedora at all. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
