There's also more problems:
This approach would basically opt OpenJDK out of all System-Wide
changes, like GCC updates, compiler flag changes, etc. (at least until
"Fedora oldstable" catches up to those changes 12 months later).
This is actually the biggest problem with it. Having packages
implicitly automatically opted out of virtually every single System
Wide Change seriously sucks.
