A discussion is currently going on jcp-open [1]. I asked to join this
JSR EG in the past (before the JSR was open for review and before the
latest row over the JCP process). But now I guess this is up in the air.
The situation is not a pleasant one for the ASF, as taking a
principled stand has already drawn the criticism of being
"childish" [2] and it would hurt the existing projects (us included).
It is all other companies that sorta support ASF, but are still going
along with JCP will be the winners either way.
