Restful Web Services is discussing a small API update. Is point two, hard and fast?

Hi,
First of all, thank you for the discussions on the original "gather ideas" documentand the Platform calls regarding the scope and content of Jakarta EE 9.1.  Based on this input, I have attempted to create a more concise Jakarta EE 9.1 Release Plan:  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fEf-Iio2-NJSfMuNc1rpCxIMdA6tlUyv8d2c4TydMt0/edit?usp=sharing

I would appreciate some additional reviewing and commenting so that we could present this Release Plan to the Specification Committee in the next couple of weeks.  We will plan to discuss this at our Platform call this coming Tuesday at 10am Central:  https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/embed?src="">

Some of the highlights of this EE 9.1 Plan...
  • Limit the release to support the Java SE 11 runtime.
  • No API updates to the component Specifications.
  • Platform Specifications will need to be updated to define the support beyond Java SE 8.  And, the TCKs and Compatible Implementations will most likely need to be updated to allow support of Java SE 11.
  • And, that's about it...

The goal is to produce this release in 1Q2021, thus the limitations on what might be included.  Originally, Jakarta EE 9 was going to support both Java SE 8 and 11.  The support for Java SE 11 would have caused us to miss our deliverable date for EE 9, so it was pushed out to Jakarta EE 9.1.  Let's just finish that job and do the minimal amount of effort to support Java SE 11 with Jakarta EE 9.1.

Comments are welcome using this mail thread, or the Release Plan document, or the Platform call.  Thanks!
