To be honest, what you are suggesting is even more worrisome. What it implies is that there will be two standardization models in enterprise Java that are highly duplicative and basically competing. That will hardly reduce the fragmentation, confusion and divisiveness. That is why many of us would like to see Jakarta become the unifying standardization model.
I would say this is all the more reason to fork and standardize right now.

Subject: Re: [jakarta.ee-community] Fork Eclipse MicroProfile Configuration
as Jakarta Configuration.
First of MP is in the process of transitioning to the same standards
model as Jakarta, so it seems a little backhanded to ignore that. So
further standardization is some form of duplication of
standardization. Simply because other Jakarta members are not clear
that a fork is the best way to incorporate MP specs into Jakarta does
not mean we might eventually settle down to that. There were
discussions about employing an LTS model in MP, transitioning specs to
mature vs innovating, etc. in the pull thread discussion. Eventually
those will have to be compared against a simple fork, but this is an
EE10 timeframe discussion that is not a priority for me right now.

In no way do I see this diminishing the value of MicroProfile. Indeed historically standardizing features from any source typically enhances the value and usage for both the source and the open standard. I also can't think of any example of something being standardized "as-is" out of something that itself is not an open standard. I really have a hard time understanding why any of what Otavio is proposing is radical in any way from a rational, technical standpoint.
