Hi David,
Thank you for starting this discussion and explaining your concerns! I looked into the Plan Reviews for the two specifications, consulted the spec teams and summarized the situation below.
1. For
Rest Client Plan Review, they have the following issues in the new release that needs to utilize Jakarta Restful Web Services 3.1 (part of EE 10). The whole list can be found
here.
I think this is a valid technical reason for the next release to base on EE 10.
2. For
Fault Tolerance Plan Review, the new release is to integrate with Telemetry (aligning with EE 10 since version 1.0). However, Telemetry has no APIs so Fault Tolerance can still stay on EE 9.1. I will update the plan not to align with EE 10.
For other specs that do not use any new features from EE 10, I support your view that we should keep them on EE 9.1 until there is a need to use the new features from EE 10.
Does this address your concerns, David?
Thanks,
Emily
