[cdi-dev] Any opposition to exploring semantic versioning via OSGi annot

[Scott Stark <starksm64@xxxxxxxxx>]

So one of the goals of the platform is to introduce a stronger semantic versioning model. The general issue and associated platform dev thread is captured in this issue:

https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jakartaee-platform/issues/449

BJ Hargrove of the Open Liberty team and OSGi working group volunteered to explore what an update of the CDI artifacts to make use of the OSGi artifacts would entail. There is no point in doing this if we have a hard stance about introducing a build time only dependency on the OSGi annotations. There is an ongoing discussion about potentially introducing a similar set of annotations in Jakarta, but any current prototype effort would have to be based on the OSGi library.

Thoughts?
