We can definitely vote, but would be great if we can way a day or two to discuss what we'd be voting and what our status is and how to best address our concerns. Here's my understanding of our status. - We all universally agree we want MP in TomEE 8 and are actively working on it - Some of us see value in and are actively working on MP support in a TomEE 7.1 in addition to TomEE 8 I haven't seen anyone propose a TomEE 7.1-only option. My understanding of the concern is that we end up ignoring TomEE 8, which is a concern I would share. Perhaps the most effective vote would be to vote to require those who do work on a TomEE 7.1 to also submit the same PR to TomEE 8. If a PR comes into TomEE 7.1 only and that work is needed in TomEE 8, but there isn't a PR, we reject it. We remind the person we voted that TomEE 8 is the priority and TomEE 7.1 work can happen as long as we don't ignore TomEE 8. If someone wants to submit an MicroProfile PR to TomEE 8 only, go right ahead, those who want to see a TomEE 7.1 will have to back port it if they're serious about a TomEE 7.1 I'd certainly vote +1 for that. -David
