[mojarra-dev] Splitting the API into faces-api?

["Kevin Sutter" <sutter@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
As we look at
the work in front of us for Jakarta EE 9, I am wondering if there is any
interest in breaking out the API from Mojarra and putting it into the Faces
project (faces-api repo)?  I have no idea how much work this would
entail, but it seems like a good time to do this split.  We have to
change the package names for the API anyway (and I doubt you'll be changing
the package names through out the implementation).  So, why not make
the split into separate repos?  Yes?  No?  Reasons?

Thanks!
