Fedora 20 used to have 3 different Java versions (5, 7, 8).

ok, why no Java 6 ?

OpenJDK 7
was removed from F21 because its support will end before F21 EOL and we
don't want to ship software not supported by upstream.

So for users most stable thing is to use Oracle JDK builds instead which are and will stay available ?

No separate repo with "binaries that is currently supported but will not stay supported for all of fedora 21 lifetime" ?

(just trying to understand the logic/intent)
