| We could talk about CDI achieving feature parity with EJB, this will signal users that they can do with CDI everything that they do with EJB, it’s just a matter of how.

Do you mind suggesting alternative verbiage? How about “Provide modernized equivalents of all key EJB functionality using CDI across the platform”?
Even if we cannot achieve complete consensus by October 31, I would like to see what level of consensus could indeed be achieved. For example, at a bare minimum, can we commit to a projected delivery date and Java SE support? The release plan (draft?) appears to do so?

Subject: Re: [jakarta.ee-spec] Defining Jakarta EE 12 Scope in Program Plan I'm not in a position to provide a lot of feedback by October 31.
A quick input is that we should be cautious about language like 'Fully replace EJB with equivalent CDI centric functionality across the platform'. People are going to read that and interpret it as 'we're removing EJB in EE 12' when actually https://docs.google.com/document/d/1U2qEqF9K969t5b3YuX4cwex5LJPvF3bt1w27cdKNpDM/edit?usp=gmail talks about how "we can declare our intent to deprecate EJB". Your more detailed write up is about covering the EJB use cases via other specs so EE 12 users don't have barriers to moving away from EJB.
I understand EJB makes marketing pitches harder, but OTOH a lot of people use it and I don't think scaring them will help Jakarta EE.
Yes, I understand you folks have been discussing EE 12 to some extent. What I would like to see is if we can achieve more concrete early consensus (including at least some things we can all agree is important to try and deliver) that can be documented (and publicized) as part of the Working Group Program Plan itself.
Thank you, Reza, for kickstarting this.
Speaking to a friendly JUG leader at Open Community for Java about this, I think I should be even more explicit about deadlines.
The Program Plan is due by the first week of November. To include a specific scope for EE 12 in the Program Plan, a reasonable level of consensus must be achieved by October 31 at the latest. Ideally consensus by October 29 would be great as this is when the next Steering Committee meeting is.
Hi folks,
I would like to see if we can define clear, compelling, and specific
scope for Jakarta EE 12 as part of the Steering Committee Program Plan:
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1xUNDHMP_qTHH1wA3m0yCmWVf_sHp41Qd7Opq3FhgINs/edit?usp=sharing.
I believe this is of critical importance at this juncture. If I did not
think so, I would not bother trying. I have detailed all the rationale
here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1U2qEqF9K969t5b3YuX4cwex5LJPvF3bt1w27cdKNpDM/edit?usp=sharing.
For those that recall, something very similar was done for Jakarta EE
11, so this isn't exactly without precedent.
I would like to see if this can be done in the following couple of
weeks, when the Program Plan is due.
Thanks,
Reza
