The only things I read in the thread are "GCJ is abandoned" and "we
really want to get rid of GCJ". Am I supposed to come to the
conclusion that the GCJ package is dropped from Fedora? If so, where
is this decision made? Why was it made without consulting GCJ users?

We have so many abandoned projects packaged in Fedora. I don't
understand the rush to drop one of them.

If GCJ is not dropped, what is the reason for retiring pdftk then?
(sorry it's Friday night, my deduction skill are at their lowest)

Best,
