Absolutely. I am amazed at what a short memory the IT business has. We have been screwed over so many times and people keep going back for more.

C# and the CLR aren't advanced enough over Java and the JVM to risk This is especially true now that Java and the JVM are genuinely open source.

Can we expect to see an rpm that comes with RedHat which installs java sometime soon so I don't have to manually download it from Sun and install it?

It already comes with Fedora 8. It's called Iced Tea. <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/IcedTea>. It's not exactly the same, but works for providing Java for projects like Open Office.
