Well the right way would have been to provide a replacement for the proprietary crap, not to remove user functionality. If you can put a FLOSS JVM under most jpp packages, that's because the deps are meant to be replaced by FLOSS stuff (and when they can't because the FLOSS project decided it would be smart not to copy the proprietary blob layout, the deps are changed at request). Many jpackage rpms were created before FLOSS replacements existed. I'm sorry we lacked the cristal ball to predict what would or would not have a FLOSS alternatives later. We knew most of it would get alternatives – otherwise it would have been a lot less work just to hardcode a particular JVM everywhere like everyone else was doing (and still is BTW). -- Nicolas Mailhot
