Gah! Cay is right, the spec does say the default is Production.
Either
1) I'm not remembering things correctly, 2) the spec is wrong 3) I've
changed my mind since writing the spec. In any case, this discussion is
apropos.
If the spec is indeed not what you folks intended, maybe it would be a
good idea to fix it? This could be done independent of the larger issue
whether PROJECT_STAGE is adopted elsewhere in Java EE.

Oh do I wish I could share the JSR-315 EG traffic on this topic with
you. Perhaps you should be on the servlet EG.
Not everyone can be on every EG. I agree wholeheartedly with your
diagnosis of the problem--they should run an open process, just like JSR
314.
With all due respect: What is it with you Red Hat/JBoss guys always
assuming Ed Burns is standing in the way of your work and not doing
anything on your behalf? There is a provable pattern of behavior here
stretching back to October 2007 and I'm getting tired of it. Can you at
least *check* with me before assuming that you need to take it straight
to the highest levels? On the other hand, I have a provable pattern of
being accomodating and consensus building and continue to expect to run
this EG in that manner.
As an outsider, it would seem to me a good idea if this is taken to the
highest levels by whatever means. Unfortunately the process hasn't
worked too well despite your tireless efforts (for which I am very
grateful), so if the Red Hatters can shake it up, I'd say "go for it".
Cheers,
Cay
