Is the TCK the last thing left? I can understand the concern there for sure. I know there is a lot of work being done with the platform TCK itself. I'm not sure how that is going.

We are part of Wave 5, but I don't know how much time that buys us

"Wave 5 specs to have release review by 2024-02-29."  (see spec mailing list)

Jersey for instance hasn't even started yet with any kind of Jakarta REST 4.0 support. I'm a committer there, though admittedly not a very active one, so I didn't want to just start on it. When I started a discussion about Jersey for 4.0 this week, the first reaction I got was "Is there any rush for the 4.0 branch?", which may be quite indicative of the current situation.

Kind regards,
