I wasn't being for or against just pointing out process as I'm not familiar with the suggested change. If people think it is in scope then go for it.

Subject: Re: [jakartaee-platform-dev] Adding generics to API for Jakarta EE 9?
I thought we had discussed the introduction of generics into the signatures as an "okay" small change. I looked through our notes and can't find a record of this, so we must have just discussed it verbally.
Since the addition of missing generics in the signature would be a binary compatible change, why wouldn't or couldn't we allow this? As Arjan points out, the javax->jakarta change already makes it source
incompatible, so we're not introducing anything that would require additional work. And, the use of generics is a good thing that helps with strong type checking. Is there a technical reason why we couldn't allow this type of change in Jakarta EE 9 without
requiring separate release plans?

Subject: [jakartaee-platform-dev] Adding generics to API for Jakarta EE 9?
Hi,
I was thinking to add missing generics to the Jakarta Authentication API for Jakarta EE 9. This is a binary compatible change. Jakarta _expression_ has done this too. Obviously the TCK signature file needs to be adjusted for this,
but it has to be adjusted anyway for the javax -> jakarta change.
Thoughts?
Kind regards,
Arjan Tijms
