Hi Lukas!
Trying not to
ignore you!  It's just that I'm still working with the Spec Committee
to ensure that the process can be simplified for a Service Release (x.y.z).
 As the Specification Process is currently written, it can be interpretted
that a Service Release needs to go through the full process.  Several
of us on the Spec Committee do not agree with this interpretation and we're
trying to figure out a compromise.  We're making progress, but I can't
give a definitive answer yet.

If you want to
make immediate progress with your proposed service releases, you could
start down the path of producing the PRs, Release Records, etc of a normal
release cycle.  That process will work just fine.  But, as we
all know, there is overhead associated with that process and, thus, we're
trying to simplify it for everyone.

Thanks for the
note.

Hi Kevin,

   Any update on how to proceed with service releases of the spec
projects? Is release review and ballot required or can some or all these
steps be skipped and I can just go ahead with publishing artifacts whenever
they are ready?

Thanks,
—lukas

Limit the release to support the Java SE 11 runtime.

No API updates to the component Specifications.

Platform Specifications will need to be updated to define the support beyond
Java SE 8.  And, the TCKs and Compatible Implementations will most
likely need to be updated to allow support of Java SE 11.

And, that's about it...

on what might be included.  Originally, Jakarta EE 9 was going to
support both Java SE 8 and 11.  The support for Java SE 11 would have
caused us to miss our deliverable date for EE 9, so it was pushed out to
Jakarta EE 9.1.  Let's just finish that job and do the minimal amount
of effort to support Java SE 11 with Jakarta EE 9.1.
