Thanks for the link. Very well written. It depicts very well how concerning is the jsr-376. One question: what can we do today about this final draft?
Officially, this spec is not the final draft. The current JSR
vote is its Public Review Ballot.
For those who have not memorized the JCP process, here is a
snippet from https://jcp.org/en/procedures/jcp2_10
3.4.4 Public Review
Public Review begins when the PMO posts a new draft
Specification on the JCP Website and announces its availability
for public review and comment.
The Spec Lead is responsible for ensuring that all comments are
read and considered. If those comments result in revisions to
the draft and those revisions result in major changes (in the
opinion of the Expert Group,) then the Spec Lead must send an
updated draft (with a summary of the changes) to the PMO at
least 10 days before the review period ends. The PMO shall post
the new draft and the change summary on the JCP Website at least
7 days before the review period ends and shall notify the public
that the new draft is available.
3.4.5 Public Review Ballot
The Public Review Ballot starts when the Public Review closes.
At the close of balloting, all comments submitted by EC members
with their ballots shall be circulated to the Expert Group by
the PMO.
If the Public Draft Specification Ballot fails, the Expert Group
will have 30 days to update the draft in response to the
concerns raised by the EC and to submit a revised version to the
PMO. If a revised draft is not received within 30 days, the
original decision by the EC shall stand and the PMO will declare
the JSR closed. If a revision is received, the PMO shall forward
it to the EC and initiate a Public Draft Specification
Reconsideration Ballot. At the close of balloting, all comments
submitted by EC members with their ballots shall be circulated
to the Expert Group by the PMO. If this ballot fails, the JSR
will be closed and the Expert Group will be disbanded. If the
JSR was a revision to an existing Specification, the Spec Lead
shall resume the role of Maintenance Lead of the current
Specification (see section 3.6.)
