I like to thank everyone who has sent feedback on our proposal for
Java EE 7 support for the Platform as a Service model.
Now that you all hopefully have had time to study it, we'd like to hear
from the rest of you, and to solicit any further more-detailed comments.
I've uploaded a copy to the Documents area of the project, so you
can find it there as well (

thanks,
-Linda
