I have a question: Is there anybody that stepped in to maintain the legacy jdk?
If there is nobody to maintain it trying to come up with this guidelines now would be
pointless.
In short I think that such guidelines would better be created *only* when there are
interested parties, jointly with them and the process is played a bit by some copr repo or
similar. Purely theoretical work is not needed.
I fully agree with Alex here.
I would add that if someone really wants to maintain older JDK in Fedora
then it should up to *them* to come up with a solution that will work
and satisfy expectations of JKD maintainers and Java SIG. Maintaining
package is more than clicking "unorphan" in pkgdb.
