It has not come up at the spec committee level as yet. It is only starting to show up in this discussion when trying to wrap our heads around what a Jakarta EE 9 name change only release means.
Maybe we should move to a model of LTS releases like OpenJDK? Sets a specific expectation with users that some versions are more "experimental" than others.
Now maybe this has already been discussed on the spec committee - I'm way behind on emails so cannot say for sure.
Mark.
And even worse: we would break backward compat with every Jakarta EE release :(

But the Big Bang never says that yet it does say "Any packages not moved from javax to jakarta could be included in Jakarta EE, but would be forever frozen and never move to the jakarta namespace." which is exactly the same thing, right?
