[jakarta.ee-spec.committee] types of review

The JCP allowed for two types of review - full JSR and MR.
I always wished that MR had been split into "minor release"
and "errata".

The current Eclipse specification process only describes a
single type of review.  My (limited) understanding of the EDP
is that two types of release review are possible - one for
bug fixes and one for new functionality.  Would that apply
to Specification Projects as well, and if so how?  Are bug
fixes to a spec only errata?  Does any functional change to
a spec require a full release review?

How would you compare the "weight" of a full release review
with the JCP MR process?  Can a full release review be lightweight
enough to easily handle simple straightforward changes to a spec
(and implementation, and TCK)?

Can someone produce a timeline view of the spec release process,
similar to the picture at the top of the JCP Spec Lead Guide?

Thanks.
