Hello Sudhir,
I am afraid that you're missing one important point.
If a user installs a 3rd party plugin that is expected to work and it
doesn't work that's bad. From her/his POV Fedora would be giving her/him
a worse experience than other distros or OSes where these plugins work
out of the box in LibreOffice.
A good default experience is certainly more valuable than saving a few
megs. (Hence my question, how much space are we talking about here, as I
suspect we're trying to overoptimize).

What extensions do we ship with LibreOffice that requires Java? If
they are third-party and upstream doesn't compel to include them by
default do we really need them.
On Arch Linux, third party extensions rely on whatever Java installed
by the user. There are products like Android Studio that don't support
OpenJDK and in such scenario you end up installing both Java but using
only one. That leads to maintenance overhead.
