We had Java in Fedora long before modules, but not having a Java module would certainly be
the case in that scenario, and that'd be fine. We've been able to install multiple
different Java versions on the same Fedora install for some time now, something which is
not possible with modules.

I'm quite certain that forbidding people to move to module-only would
mean
that we would not only not have a Java stack in Fedora but also no Java
module too.
You can argue that that's a good thing. Mikolaj wouldn't have gotten
half
the abuse he got for being the last remaining member of the Java SIG
and
we wouldn't have crazy conspiracies accussing people of moving packages
to module-only because $REASON but having a Java module is better than
not having one.
