[jpa-spec users] [jsr338-experts] Re: Where is the JPA specification bug tracker heading?

Hi Werner,

I've been tracking this aspect for a long time already [0] and so far there wasn't any movement (not judging here, just stating facts).

I deliberately included the aspect in my original email as I wondered whether the recent development might have changed the general attitude of Oracle in that area and the migration in infrastructure might be a good chance to actually take that step.

Cheers,
Ollie
