The first LTS release of Java SE that will contain modules is Java 11 so future versions of Jakarta EE (after EE8) will need to have an opinion on Modules and some specificity around module definitions for Jakarta EE technologies. Beyond that I would expect the use of JPMS for Jakarta EE technologies to be well defined but optional. Obviously that will be a decision for the community but I would not expect JPMS to be a requirement enforced by future Jakarta EE TCKs.

Ian, I think what you're saying is that a future version of Jakarta EE will need to JPMS-enabled, but not require that applications built upon it use JPMS. Do I understand that correctly?
