Thanks for confirmation, Bill! That’s what I thought.
The javax APIs in Java SE follow the JCP rules. The issue arises
for the Java EE APIs because we're no longer going to use the JCP.

So do these javax namespace usage rules apply to APIs
contained in Java SE too? If it doesn't then it is less of a
concern, IMO. They will just stay javax always. As Mike
mentioned in his article, even a maintenance change would
result in changing namespace in an API specification. That is
what concerning if all are not changed now but touched in
later releases for maintenance.
Manik,
FYI no matter what EE does, there are going to be javax
APIs that remain as they are provided by the JRE and not
the container. Thus a mix is going to occur no matter
what. Below is a list of what I can see in a JDK11
release and sql, xml, transaction, naming are all very
relevant to EE applications.

Hi,
Even though javax.* package naming can be used
as-is, having a mix of javax.* and jakarta.* could
complicate migrations. I would rather prefer to have
application migration done once than little bit every
time. IMO, javax.* to jakarta.* migration should be
part of Jakarta EE 9, even if that means that is the
only change for it. That could give a clean start for
future releases. So, Big bang approach. With that
said, I think MicroProfile can stay independent for
Jakarta EE 9 release.
Regards,
