Ugh :(

As far as I can tell, the idea for JAX-RS 2.1 first came about when I
asked Marek to commit to a bugfix release for JAX-RS every 3 months
because the bugs were piling up and I didn't want to wait 2 years for a fix.

It looks like they first committed to a 3 month release cycle and then
changed their mind and did this. 3 months have already passed since my
request. Not only didn't I receive those bugfixes, I no longer expect to
see anything out of them in the near future.
