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.

 That could have been prevented by policy, but deliberately was not, because

 module-only) as their hidden agenda.

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.
