While it's great that Red Hat does this, I don't think this is a
big deal from a consumer perspective. Java has been dead as disco
on the web for some time, there are precious few sites that use it.

It sucks so badly (in Linux or Windows, it doesn't really matter)
that I refuse to even visit sites that use it. I can not fathom
what would posses someone to still use it on the internet in this
day and age.

It may be useful in intranets, which is why it makes sense for Red Hat
to have a working solution to this problem. But that's not a consumer
level problem.
