Other developers:

java"
* (note) JavaSIG has several proven packages that could assist with this
change

Release engineering:
* mass rebuild is not necessary but it would simplify things
I would like to point out that all of the above could be simply automated.
If you do that, please make sure to not touch packages that have
already been converted -- properly finding out what's already done
will probably require using repoquery, for example due to possible
conditionals in specfiles that make them backwards compatible, e.g.

Ugh. Why did you have to do that? That commit changed nothing because all the
dependencies still have "Requires: java". Technically speaking you also made a
change which is against packaging guidelines[1], but that's not really an issue
in this case

Unnecessary complications...
agree
