I think you are right about the prompt. I install java for regression testing. Sometimes it is the JRE, and sometimes it is the JDK. After dnf-system-upgrades, rpmconf prompted me on Java configuration files. I did not customize Java at all, and it surprised me I was being asked to pick between the maintainer's version (new) and current version (old). Generally speaking, I've learned to supply my changes in the <package>.d/ directory so I can answer 'Y' to everything rpmconf prompts about.
