First of all, thank you for your work! I know it may not mean much but it is appreciated. On a general side, I would say, however, that this is the nature of every collaborative effort, isn't it? Also, I can only speak for JMC (since my team owns this) and for OpenJDK (since I'm part of the OpenJDK team an Jiri own this), and I know the base is sound. And we aren't required to do any of this work, but we do it because we want to have Fedora a great platform for Java development, so we put efforts in ensuring that OpenJDK (and JMC) are packaged correctly. Also, there is always the risk that someone leaves to do better things, but this doesn't mean "completely broken" (otherwise why haven't the packages been retired?), so I think my first question is still valid.
