I believe the reason for this was already discussed in this list. basically this is the first time Free java has become good enough to be shipped with a distro and since fedora developers did the major work in bringing it up to this point they want to push it better.
I think most Java stuff belongs in JPackage.org - and that JPackage.org should have a repo file in default install. That may not happen because RH does not have oversight of JPackage.org - but I do think that is the best way to do java. A JRE with browser plugin in core though I think would be the right thing, but everything else Java, it really should (imho) leverage the JPackage "package ecosystem", which really rocks.
