Again, I don't think this needs to derail EE 9, but maybe I'm in
the minority.
Agree.

The EFSP

identify at least
one Compatible Implementation under an Open Source License
that implements
all optional elements of the Specification and fulfills
the requirements
of all elements (including optional elements) of the TCK.
So, depending on the interpretation of the second
sentence, the optional
elements could be satisfied by one or more Compatible
Impls. Regardless,
it states that a Specification Version (ie. Jakarta EE 9)
has to provide
one or more CIs that demonstrate all Required and Optional
aspects of the
spec.
Right, we need something that is not open to interpretation. I am
fairly confident that there were at least some of us who
interpreted that strongly and literally as "a single
implementation must exist that itself passes all optional and
required aspects of the spec" and that after this point others
could be free to implement the optional parts they chose.
If we want to allow a TCK's optional parts to be
proven by a mix of implementations who, in aggregate, satisfy
all the required and optional aspects of the spec then we should
update the EFSP or JESP so no other interpretation is possible.
How about this?
A Compatible
Implementation must fully implement all non-optional elements
of a Specification Version, must not extend the API (no
supersetting), and must fulfill all the requirements of the
corresponding TCK. A Specification Version must identify one
or more Compatible Implementations under an Open Source
License that, in aggregate, implement all optional elements of
the Specification and fulfill the requirements of all elements
(including optional elements) of the TCK.
