That's a good call.If we agree to use the Karaf distribution powered by simple resolver and Karaf services by default (see the other thread), then, I think it makes sense to use Karaf 5.0.0. What are the others thinking?
So as long as the full resolver is still available for custom distributions, I do not really have a preference.
I will note that it is completely normal in the ecosystem to raise required Java version with a minor bump.
Jakarta namespace changes are typically done across a major version bump, but I can't think of a non-library that has done so.
I guess we should be guesstimating the migration effort inflicted on downstreams: is it going to be on the scale of karaf3 -> karaf4 or karaf4.1 -> karaf4.2?
