In his proposal, that would just mean that whatever last working version of Java would stay there until the end of time. If it stopped compiling on updates, then the last version which did stays in Fedora until provably broken. He might also say that Java is a curse and if it went away.. that would just mean people would go back to coding in C++ as they should. However that is speculation on my part. -- Stephen J Smoogen. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
