Great. Thanks for looking at this.

I'd like to review the open issue list and fix any issues that come
under the category of "typos" in Javadoc, spec doc etc. It is a while
since I looked through the issues and I know there were a few like that
across the projects I'm involved in but I can't remember if there were
any in EL.

If there are "clarification" issues then we might be able to address
some of them providing it doesn't change the API or expected behaviour.
Again, I haven't looked through them recently enough to have anything
specific in mind.

There are a handful of API clean-ups (adding generics where they were
missed) that are binary compatible changes that I plan to make. We
didn't make them in Jakarta EE 8 because it would have meant changing
the signatures in the TCK but since we are going to have to update the
signatures for the package rename now is a good time to get this done.

There is a single deprecated method:
MethodExpression#isParmetersProvided()
that I'd *really* like to remove. The method name has a typo and a new,
fixed method has been added. Part of me thinks the Jakarta EE 8 to 9
transition is the perfect time to do this. However, it is a backwards
incompatible change and would add complexity to any tool doing automatic
Jakarta EE 8 to 9 conversion. As much as I'd like to see this method
removed, I think it is going to have to remain for Jakarta EE 9.

Is that a guess at the final date? If so the TCK is the big unknown. I
haven't looked at any of that yet. Best guess (and it really is a guess)
would be end of March.
