Re: [jakarta.ee-spec.committee] Certification Requests for Specifications with no TCK

Where we left this topic to day is still unclear to me.  Here's what I understood from today's call:

 - Must GlassFish file a certification request with the EJB project: yes, cause rules
 - Must OpenLiberty file a certification request with the EJB project: no, cause they don't want to

I've filed and approved a request on behalf of the GlassFish project so my part is done:

 - https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/ejb-api/issues/56

My primary position on today's call was we should be honest with ourselves on if a rule is providing enough value to be worth it.  IMO, rules are a form of technical debt.  When we say one thing and immediately do another, it's a sign the debt isn't (yet) worth it.

My ambitions commonly outpace my actions, so it's something I aggressively watch for.  Probably still not enough :)
