Back when we wrote the initial Java packaging guidelines, we said

packagers *should* include GCJ AOT bits. Should we remove this
requirement for Fedora 11 and beyond?
Also, GCJ is still in the base install set for Fedora. Should we remove
this and make OpenJDK a default?
This is a bit premature. We still don't have the OpenJDK JIT for PPC and
ARM arches. We're working hard on it but it's not ready yet for prime-time.
Without the JIT, OpenJDK is crushingly slow on these arches.
Having said that, there's no reason not to make OpenJDK the default on the
arches where it performs well: x86 and 8x6_64 at the monent.
