Re: [ee4j-community] JCP and existing specs

Unlike Individual members of the Community who ideally we'll see others or some fluctuation after Ivar started, I don't think each major company can and should have multiple PMC reps at each time. It might get a bit crowded there ;-)

And then I never remotely said that I could be part of the PMC. :)

I suppose, "shorten their process" at the JCP could be done in ways we see
for Java SE and OpenJDK now (while still in the EC I was among the first
members who suggested fewer Java SE JSRs because e.g. 308, 310 and others
were just empty shells with no spec or value as a JSR)

If the JCP was still to standardize something around EE4J then maybe like
the quarterly OpenJDK releases every 1 or 2 years there could be an EE4J
"Umbrella" JSR.
