I also expected that. Instill consider this a lack of transparency in the
overall planning. Given the fact that EE8 (again) will probably start over
with 'cloud' and I'm not really looking forward to seeing the placeholder
text in the proposed JSRs this would be a great step forward to make a
better assessment regarding the overall goal for EE8

There is some stuff in the making. And it is appreciated. But again: given
the fact that the 'standard' needs to find a good mix between adoption and
maintenance it wouldn't hurt anybody if we continue to take care of the
mature specs...
I appreciate the new specs ... But please don't keep exclusive focus on
them ...

This is my biggest loss this year. Bill's call on that topic, the missing
jigsaw implementation ... Some loging JEPs which don't care a bit about the
developer perspective. Java Platforms lost the battle here. I consider this
the biggest mistake and I wish there would be a good way for crowd sourcing
JSRs and JEPs easier. In the meantime I also would consider simply taking
log4j et al .. Just to improve the situation. The whole topic will come up
with clouds again. And I expect to see a decent ignorance or JUL
workaround. And yes: I'm disappointed. Mainly about the fact that I do have
a day-job and can't take this into my own hands.

Which adds to a solid standard with a couple of decent dark areas where
gifted people plug 3rd party stuff in. Why not .. It simply isn't the way I
would like it to be ...

Cheers,
Markus
