Hi Emily,
I just checked and I don't think there is really anything
missing. I do think some of the points could be consolidated a bit
without really losing anything. I would rather one person (you)
did the consolidation so that we can maximize readability for more
casual readers. I deleted my temporary document to eliminate any
possible confusion.
While I do personally rely on Twitter polls heavily, honestly
they are less than ideal. Only people on Twitter can participate
and results can easily get skewed based on who actually
tweets/re-tweets. This is a very important matter in the long term
and I think it is best to try to mitigate those polling
weaknesses. While this will still not be a scientific poll,
hopefully it will be useful enough input into whoever the ultimate
decision makers are that way.
Here is what I suggest:
* Make it a SurveyMonkey survey managed by an independent party
like the Eclipse Foundation, InfoQ or DZone.
* Publish the analysis somewhere like the Jakarta EE (and/or
MicroProfile) blog.
* Help spread word via Jakarta EE/MicroProfile/Eclipse Foundation
social media, InfoQ, DZone, JUGs, Jakarta EE Ambassadors, Java
Champions, etc.
I would do this with the blessings of the right stakeholders.
Just my two cents of course.
In the end, just doing the analysis in an open and inclusive way
is already a win barring anything else.

Thank you Reza for expressing your thoughts constructively!
I've merged most of your contents to mine. Please check to see
whether I missed anything. Let's continue the discussion on this doc. I've tweeted about this doc. As a
consequence, I have restricted the edit access right. You can
still comment on it. I plan to run a twitter poll towards the
end of next week. Thoughts?
What I tried to do is make the options clearer to the
average user so they may be able to understand the
trade-offs a bit more easily. I also tried to be as
inclusive and objective as possible (although I think that
is difficult for most). If the changes seem OK, it may be
best to just merge the two documents (I guess I am mostly
looking for Emily to do that).
I hope this helps. I think the analysis as it stands is
in good shape.

You're right Emily. Thanks for answering, and I
agree mostly with that.
There's of course an advantage to not changing
the package, but there's obviously also an
advantage (IMHO) to do change them.
Kind regards,

Thank you Arjan! Yes, I agree none of the options
is perfect.
+1 Reza! I have taken a shot of creating this doc.
I listed some options there with cons/pros. Everyone
should be able to add their opinion with con/pro
there.
I think it would be helpful to write some of this
down in a pro/con format. I think that could help
inform further discussion that may not take place
here and also help inform all the developers out
there. If no one else wants to take that up, I
can.

Sadly we cannot rewrite the history.
Since now we have two package names,
there is not much value to change the
namespace again. Besides, MP and Jakarta
are working together under CN4J towards
a full stack of Cloud Native foundation.
There should be no superiority
comparison between them but the
collaboration and acceptance.
You're right Emily. Thanks for answering,
and I agree mostly with that.
