IMHO, this is not implementable for a simple practical reason: All the JARs
we ship are built from source with our default JDK. They will in general NOT
work on any JRE that's older than the default JDK. (A JRE/JDK that's NEWER
than the default JDK can work though, e.g., the java-1.8.0-openjdk packages
in Fedora 19 and 20. But we were already providing those.)
To avoid state of things you just described, this proposal was described.
Nothing will be compiled or run by legacy jdk if those rules are kept, not even by accident.
Howevewr people willingly and with full consequence wil be able to use legacy jdk for third party
apps, or go on theirs system on theirs own responsibility.
I'd say this proposal is very similar to my proposal[1] for libraries: the legacy JDKs can be useful
for the user when facing with non-Fedora development. IMHO, it is fine, and even great, that no
Fedora JARs will depend on legacy JDK. However, if there are JAR files which are useful for a
developer, they can have a -legacy version too!
Yes. This is the intention.
