The kernel is mature and the main implementation. If fedora-packaged
java apps fail when people try to use them with proprietary jvms that's
a bigger problem. Till gcj is mature, efficient and recognized in the
marketplace being able to mix and replace components (including the jvm)
is a huge plus.

(now on this particular point, I don't see how we can accommodate SUN &
Fedora requirements, and Fedora goals come first)
