The only gain I see is to make the release smoother.

The gain I see is also for the user, who can start using just "JSON" or "Security". As mentioned, users have been asking me time and again why Jakarta EE has 3 different security frameworks, while Spring just has "Spring Security".

Partially it's also a matter or presententing ourselves to our users and organizing our documentation, but documentation typically follows the spec/API organisation.

Just as an example, this one is overwhelming and confusing to users it seems: https://jakarta.ee/specifications

The response I got was, as mentioned, "why are there 3 security frameworks?", but also "why are there 2 dependency injection frameworks?" and "Why are there two JSON frameworks?".

Kind regards,
