So, the only way I can see to do this would be to have releng manually tag the builds from oldest release into newer ones each time they are built. I do not like this for a number of reasons:
- It's more manual work.
- It bypasses a bunch of our process. There wouldn't be any bodhi
update, so no CI checks, no chance for karma, no updates-testing step (unless there's more work to retag a bunch of times).
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).
