Hi Andy,
For PATCH I personally think it makes sense to add it to the spec,
especially since we've been building support for JSON Patch into JSR
374. There is a JIRA issue:
https://java.net/jira/browse/JAX_RS_SPEC-513
IMO there's not a big necessity to add CONNECT and TRACE though -- in
favor of other features that should be included in 2.1.
What do the other experts think about this?
Cheers,
Sebastian
