For Fedora 31, make also java-11-openjdk `Provides:` the relevant version-independent package aliases `java` and `java-headless` and so on. If this proposal is too late for Fedora 31, then make it for Fedora 32. > 2. One release later, drop the version-independent aliases from java-1.8.0-openjdk so that java is being updated to java-11-openjdk for all users. Note that for such a change we'd have to make sure that *all* Java packages build/run with java-11-openjdk as this essentially means any java package currently requiring java or java-devel will switch JDK to a modularized JDK underneath. Due to that potential breakage we haven't done the switch. JDK 11 has been GA'ed in September 2018, which was less than a year ago, fwiw. If you'd like to help perform a mass-rebuild (into a separate tag?) and assess what's breaking, feel free to.
