I tend to agree with this one.

We may consider approaching the default @Path annotation value in a way similar to the JSR250. That would introduce
requested convention over configuration at least to some extent. If one wants to instead configure the empty path "",
one would use @Path(""), same as today.

Provided the @Path annotation does not have a default value in JAX-RS 1.x, what risk of breaking existing applications
do you see in this particular case?
Kind regards,
