I empathise with the Eclipse PMC, and as I pointed out in various Planning
Council and IDE WG calls, Eclipse PMC are a TLP that can do what they want
(within EDP, etc). As far as I can tell they have tried to build consensus,
but we are 4 months into the process of trying to get consensus on this
issue and we remain log jammed.

As a reminder, the next step is "Wayne has volunteered to try and put
together the document that is digestible by the IDE WG and reviewers."
(from https://wiki.eclipse.org/Planning_Council/2021-12-01)

If the 2022-03 release ships with Eclipse Platform 4.22, that would be
surprising, but not the end of the world. However my understanding is that
for Eclipse Platform 4.23 all bundles that are currently in SimRel will
continue to be jarsigned anyway. If something has changed in that regard:

> So from now on things like Jetty updates and other third party updates
will go with PGP signing only from Eclipse TLP.

then maybe we have something to hurry us along.

Thank you Eclipse PMC for lighting a suitable sized fire under our
collective behinds.

And finally another reminder "The steering committee is onboard with the
general direction of this work. The work looks promising and no plan to
change direction." (from 16 Nov IDE WG minutes
https://www.eclipse.org/lists/eclipse-ide-wg/msg00114.html)
