There is more then just "byte-compiled Java code is portable". This allows you to ship certain set of the packages, but it won't allow you to easily update any single package. You have always consider the API changes, dependency changes and if the update of the package, which you would do on Rawhide and would be perfectly fine, won't break other parts of F31 ecosystem. The choice is not any easier. If on the other hand the F31 was left in the state when it was branched + applying fixes, the Rawhide would be free to update the packages. Not mentioning that keeping the one set of packages is possibly against the idea of Fedora update policy [1]. Vít [1] https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Updates_Policy/
