[wildfly-dev] Shift in WildFly 19 schedule, alignment with MicroProfile 3.3

[Brian Stansberry]

In my announcement of the WildFly 19 Beta1 release I said that we'd likely
delay the Final release a bit to evaluate the possibility of supporting
MicroProfile 3.3, which is due out in February.  Our investigations of that
are looking favorable, so I'd like to propose the following:

1) Delay the WildFly 19 Final release until shortly after the approximately
Feb 18 MicroProfile 3.3 release in order to bring it in.

2) We make next Fri Feb 7 the cutoff for having other changes for 19 merged
into master. For changes going into WildFly Core the cutoff would be next
Tue Feb 4.

3) On Feb 7 create a 19.x branch that we will use for the MicroProfile 3.3
work. WildFly 19 would be released from this branch.

4) This means from that point the master branch would be open for work on
WildFly 20.

5) Any very high priority bug fixes we identify before 19 Final we would
also port to 19.x. But the goal should be to have anything we know of now
in before we create the branch.

6) If we hit some issue that makes it look like getting 3.3 in would go
past Feb we can reset and release WF 19 with MicroProfile 3.2.

Best regards,
Brian
