Fedora never included a java-sun-compat package but a jpackage-util which installs a basic infrastructure for java according to the jpackage.org specification. It is (and was since Fedora 1) up to the user or sysadmin to decide, - either to download java-1.x.x-sun-compat-1.x.x.y-zjpp.i[nnn}.rpm from jpackage.org and the Sun java rpm from Sun and install both - or to download java-1.x.x-sun-1.x.x.y-zjpp.nosrc.rpm and the shell script based Sun Java distribution from Sun, build their own rpm and install that. This principle was introduced with Red Hat Linux 8 or 9, had been taken over into Fedora and has been continuously improved over the various Fedora versions (e.g. introducing a yum repository as part of jpackage.org). So your information in your posting I refer to, as well as in several of your previous postings is simply wrong and continually spreading out wrong information is rather awkward.
