+1 for Option 1.
We believe MicroProfile should specify minimum Jakarta EE core
release version.
Any behavior or API requirements that are necessary for compatibility should (must?) be validated by MicroProfile specific TCKs. APIs or behavior requirements should be written into the MicroProfile component TCKs that make those requirements. We should strive to avoid implied but un-verified requirements.
Based on this presumption, Minimum Jakarta EE Core should be
specified.
If newer Jakarta EE Core does not have a compatibility issue that
is tested by the MicroProfile TCK(s), MicroProfile compatibility
ought to be allowed. If the consensus is that any
incompatibility in dependent components (i.e. a feature that has
no direct assertion in a MicroProfile specific specification or
TCK), demands that the incompatibility be rolled up (perhaps this
is a requirement of Semantic Versioning), then I can't see a way
around new releases with each subsequent Jakarta EE version
(Option 5). Option 5 is more restrictive and more onerous on the
working group.
I believe we are all striving to have as few restrictions as
possible, yet offer customers reasonable and predictable
guidelines for compatibility. It might be worthwhile for us to
also consider trying to describe, in writing, the degrees or
boundaries of compatibility we are trying to achieve. Perhaps in
association (or maybe in follow-on) with this ballot.

Further to the previous email announcement, here is the Straw Poll for choosing the most popular proposals among proposal 1, 3 and 5.
A Steering Committee Representatives vote is requested. Please respond with ONE of the following based on your opinion:
Proposal 1: MicroProfile releases support a minimum Jakarta EE versions
Proposal 3: Release new MicroProfile versions when new Jakarta EE/Java SE LTS versions are released
Proposal 5: Release new MicroProfile versions following Semantic Versioning rules and adopt new Jakarta EE (and Java SE LTS) releases accordingly
Any feedback that you can provide to support your vote will be appreciated.
Please reply with "proposal number and organization name ("community" for community members). Example: "1 (Acme Corporation)". Feel free to start a separate thread for discussion. This straw poll runs for seven days, so it ends on May 26th 2023. Community input and Community votes are welcomed. However, only the votes delivered by Steering Committee Representatives will be counted towards the ballot verbiage outlined in the linked announcement above.
