Hi Bill,

I'm sorry to hear that. Will this not influence the Java EE 8 timeline?

If EE 8 is to be released in h1 '17 and even the schedule still has to be
worked out (let alone doing the actual work and giving people the
opportunity to test the integrated whole) then it seems like there's not
that much time left.

If there's anything I can do to help, please let me know. If need be I can
do some of the integrations (specifically JSF and Security API).

Kind regards,
Arjan Tijms
