It'd be great to see this in F28. I also think it's reasonable to make a Change page for this, since it's not just a new package, but a fairly important feature and also something that requires discussion & coordination. The "Benefit to Fedora" part is clear, but the "Detailed description" part is — at least for me — way too short. I'm trying to understand basic details like what the package is going to be called and how long it will exist, and I don't see this information anywhere.

F28 will be supported until approx. 2019-06. IIUC, JDK10 will be supported until 2018-09? Our update guidelines don't allow retirement in the middle of a cycle. What happens after 2018-09? Is jdk10 going to be installable in parallel with jdk-1.8 and jdk11? If yes, how does one decide which version is used at runtime? > == Scope == > * Proposal owners: > This is isolated change.
