Fedora 20 was the last release we shipped OpenJDK7 for and the first release in which we supported aarch64 was Fedora 21 and hence my point of us in Fedora only supporting OpenJDK8. If he wants to go and get it from upstream and build it himself I'm sure the above is fine but I doubt he wants to do that! > That said, Peter is right to suggest that we are very keen to receive > bug reports for any failings observed in the JDK8 release.
