for market competitors that e. g. Jersey will not be preferred as long as it
stays under the same PMC than JAX-RS, and the long artificial delay we had
with JAX-RS due to particularly Jersey requests in the recent GlassFish
release proofs that I am right. Standards MUST be independent or they are
not really norms but just default choices!

I personally would rather see it done right and would be ok with potential
delays. I think, however, eliminating the bottleneck could just as likely
improve our speed and get us to releases faster.
Using more universal language, I see splitting after the release a bit like
writing the tests after you go to production.
