Hmmm.

Java 6 SE will be EOL'd in July 2012:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html

I assume that OpenJDK6 will stop getting updated around the same time.

For transition, I had planned for java-1.6.0-openjdk to be in F17 and
have it provide "java6, java6-devel, etc." so as to ensure that it
doesn't get into the buildroot unless explicitly specified.

However with a July '12 EOL date, it sounds like it'd make more sense to
remove it from F17 completely.

GCJ (java-1.5.0-gcj) will be available in F17.
