Actually we discussed this during our SIG meetings and recent changes
to Java packaging guidelines[1] reflect this. We are discouraging
building with GCJ support, but these guidelines are relatively new so
it will take some time for packages to be rebuilt with respect to new
guidelines. My guess is F-16, partially also F-15.
There are some places where AOT is still needed e.g. ecj is much slower
when not using AOT.
