  • Thread-topic: [DISCUSS] Introduce "favored specification" concept to Platform specification

For discussion I'd like to separate the two aspects of "is this a good idea or not" and "what should we call this thing".

 

Because I suggested the idea, I am already on the record of thinking it’s a good idea. However the discussion shapes the idea, the main thing for me is to take some action in the platform spec such that the next time someone says, “there’s not enough evidence to show demand for <SPEC> for it to be included in the platform” at least I know that we used the Jakarta specification brand itself to try to give <SPEC> some official recognition.  Notice I did not say “status”.

 

As for the name, I have gone back and forth, I have landed on “favored specification” because it has no baggage and is something of an eye-catching head-scratcher.
