I wouldn't use the word useless. Having the packages is just a quality of life thing.
Just like for me as mainly C++ developer; not having Basel or abseil does not make Fedora
useless for me or C++ developers. It doesn't take much effort to get your environment
up and running script the procedure and share with team mates to replicate.

released to users would be even more difficult. The point is, the Ant 1.10.2 package can
be used to build itself (as well as hundreds of other Java packages, including the
user's own code). It is not essential to be able to redo the bootstrapping as long as
the bootstrapped binary that is shipped is self-hosting. And if you want to no longer ship
Ant because it is "only" a build tool, that is going to make Fedora essentially
useless for Java developers. Kevin Kofler
