Then you might be able to explain why * compatibility to packages from a 3rd party repo such as jpackage are of any importance to Fedora. Except that people ARE mixing jpp-packages with Fedora, just like they do with freshrpms, atrpms, livna, dribble and many others I don't see any difference. * why the origin of a package is of any importance to Fedora? > Has it been stated otherwise somewhere? Yes, e.g. his sentence above. I read this as "we will always continue to use jpp packages, and do not package java on our own".
