I've done a pass through the issues list and here are the proposed new
priorities.
First of all, I should explain the priorities we'll be using.
I'd like to save the highest (blocker) for true showstoppers.
We'll use the next four levels as high-to-low priorities: critical,
major, minor, trivial. (I don't like the words and I think of the four
levels as 1 to 4.)
In terms of classification:
1) "critical" is stuff we absolutely need to do, or users will flee
JAX-RS in droves for proprietary APIs, plus glaring errors in the 1.1 spec
2) "major" is important stuff that affects lots of users
3) "minor" issues either have feasible workarounds or affects a
minority of users
4) "trivial" is everything else (nice to have, nitpicks, affects
tiny number of users)
In general, I've privileged issues that affect regular users of the API,
i.e. application developers trying to get their job done, over those
that impact framework developers who'd like to build on JAX-RS.
Here are the priorities: (some of the descriptions were truncated so the
table prints better)
