Nigel/all,

Thanks for the update.
I was like a few other EG members in Linda's talk as well as the keynote.
And we also heard in the EC F2F more or less what was later unveiled and
discussed.

Having multiple ways of messaging (aside from JMS, CDI, Websockets or
JAX-RS were explicitly mentioned in some of the Java EE sessions) does put
JMS in a more "legacy" position.

And I personally faced in a recent project that where it's heavily used,
the platforms and environments often keep solutions restricted to older
versions of Java EE like 6 or even 5 with the respective JMS releases.

In a "Cloud Native" world messages are more often exchanged via API calls
or e.g. Web Sockets than JMS or (IBM) MQ. Therefore I can understand it,
though I had hoped we could streamline some aspects like CDI events and JMS
with this JSR.
