I wish you'd accompany your claims with links to the appropriate 
sources.  I can find instructions to configure earlier versions of 
fedora to use the large assortment of packages in the jpackage 
repository.  I see a limited subset of those packages listed as 
available in the fedora repos, notably missing java-sun-compat. If I 
were to install f7/f8, how would I get access to the full set of things 
  available to other versions/distos from the jpackage repostory?

And as for RHEL being the same, what is the fedora equivalent of 
'up2date install' that would get
http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHEA-2007-0582.html and would have 
automatically updated to 
http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2007-0963.html when it was available?
Links/examples, please - or stop claiming that they are the same.
