Eclipse is not licensed to create packages in the javax.* namespace.
I can't say for sure that the signature tests would catch such an
addition, but it's clear that such a package would not be defined by
the JAX-RS spec, nor any other spec, and thus would violate the
compatibility rules.

Why
is it "incompatible" if there is a new "sub-package" like
"javax.ws.rs-api.xxx" added alongside the existing ones?
Yes, anything
that would make it incompatible with the corresponding Java EE
specification.

Somebody will probably correct me here,
but my understanding of "change" in this context is:
- adding/removing or changing
signatures of exposed methods in existing
classes/interfaces
- adding/removing packages
I guess, anything except fixing
bugs at this point.
I
don't want to be nitpicking but if you want to
make it bullet-proof you need to declare what
"change" means.

A
little clarification. See inlined below.
We
have updated the PMC statement regarding
work on the Jakarta EE Specification
projects.
-
Must be able to release a Jakarta EE 8
artifact (minimal changes from the
previous release)
-
Must be able to merge the Jakarta EE 8
related changes into the master branch
after release
-
Must NOT publicly publish
SNAPSHOTs or other releases that include
the javax.* namespace (yet)
-
Must NOT publicly publish SNAPSHOTs or
releases that change the javax.*
namespace.
Apart
from the above, the development of new
features is good to go!
