Platform coverage is also important but perhaps a bit less so; though I suppose setting the standard here is up to the Fedora governing board. The problem is that there is no PPC port and the best guess today is that there won't be one before F8.
Assuming you can get the encumbrances removed and get a 100% Free software solution soon then including OpenJDK in x86 and x86_64 which covers about 80% of our users[1] while putting in GCJ for PPC in Fedora 8 and continuing to push for a PPC port would be a good approach.
