FWIW, I'm a long-standing (8+ years) Fedora contributor myself
and
I've hold many roles during that time, including that of a Fedora
Packager - and most of the software I packages was written in Java and
built using ant or maven. So I do understand all these points, etc.
But for the MidoNet community, Fedora is not currently a priority.
Let's focus on RDO only here, alright? :)
Yep, in complete agreement with you there
