These proposals do ask for exceptional treatment for the JDKs on

the Fedora JDK at a disadvantage in many situations.
If current maintainers can't continue maintaining the well-packaged
OpenJDK, I think it's time to retire it. It would be better not to have
OpenJDK on Fedora than to have statically linked blobs with ugly fonts
that make the user's eyes bleed.
Likewise, with
security fixes; it may mean we pick up a security fix early via the
system library being updated, but it may also mean we are later than
other JDKs because we are waiting on system library updates as well.
1. You can always send a PR to the system library package with CVE fix.
2. You do not need to rebuild OpenJDK after the system library update is
installed.
If there is significant opposition to this, I believe we would have to
look at reducing builds and testing on Fedora in other ways.
You can focus on building only one major LTS version, but against system
libraries.
