Ok so I am back and slowly going through accumulated updates, PRs and so on.

During my time off OSS activities I did not really think much about project
future or plans, but I did realize that I may want to scale down scope of
2.13 a bit: I think I'd rather release changes, fixes and annoying
Javax-vs-Jakarta BS workarounds, relatively soon. Instead of trying to
create a bigger release that takes longer to get out.
This is in big part due to my feeling that I don't have as much time to
spend on Jackson work right now.

To that end, the set of things implemented as of:

https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson/wiki/Jackson-Release-2.13

(as well as things in-flight) will be included but not much of "Major focus
areas planned".

I also still want to tackle the javax/jakarta problem wrt Jackson JAX-RS
Providers, by basically duplicating `jackson-jaxrs-providers` as something
like `jackson-jakarta-rs-providers`, with changed dependencies.
And I may look into the feasibility of adding skeletal support for
configurability.
But the full rewrite of property discovery seems like a task too far: I
find myself with less time to work on Jackson after 2.12. This may change
at some point, but I don't want to hold up release of already completed
important improvements.

Timeline-wise, doing this might allow Release Candidate(s) to be released
in June and actual 2.13.0 sometime in July, in the best case.

WDYT?
