That can could > be a separate tag, but rel-eng is quite reluctant to provide them. java 8 is already in the main repos and had been there since F-19.

That's not an advantage, building ARM packages is a requirement of something in primary architecture. Also you can't tag copr builds in Fedora. You need to use a koji f21 side tag. > Besides that, there is already one approved change [1] which requires > rebuilding most of Java packages.

Well there will also be a mass rebuild in general for gcc 4.9 so you should coordinate with rel-eng to minimise builds in general.
