[jakarta.ee-spec.committee] version numbers vs. package renaming

[Bill Shannon <bill.shannon@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm assuming that if we define binary compatibility requirements at
all it will be done at the platform level.  We're not expecting (e.g.)
the Jakarta EE 9 version of the Jakarta Messaging spec to define
binary compatibility with the Jakarta EE 8 version.

Thus, it seems to me that changing to a new package name is an
incompatible change and the major version number of the spec should
be incremented.

Comments?

If there's agreement, can we declare this a rule for Jakarta EE specs?
