The intent is not to hold back progress for a long period of time, the
intent is to keep unstandardized packages from slipping into Fedora. I
feel very good about the progress that has been made on the Java
packaging draft, and I'm hopeful we'll be able to approve it next
Tuesday (and lift the hold on Java packages).
