Of course. If Java in RHEL is in module, then Fedora maintainer probably does not have desire to maintain it in Fedora differently. Also, just FTR, there used to be 3 people working on Java packages in Red Hat and now it is not more than 1,5 if I am not mistaken. That must be visible somewhere. TBH, the disconnect between RHEL and Fedora is IMHO much bigger then it used to be and this is also plays its role.
