Richard Zowalla commented on TOMEE-4047:
----------------------------------------
We discussed 7.0.x or 7.1.x releases on the
[[email protected]|mailto:[email protected]] list. The related mail
thread is [https://lists.apache.org/thread/hjbk86vjkds1os4gcvrpxgfxfn77qrl2]
*tl;dr*
* Currently, there is no intention to spend our limited resources on
maintaining 7.0.x or 7.1.x - the majority of people are working on maintaining
8.x and/or a release of 9.x + preparation of EE10.
* Reasons are, that these versions of TomEE rely on other libraries in
versions, which aren't maintained any more or are also affected by CVEs. A
prominent example is CXF, you can view a [naive Grype output on the list
archive|https://lists.apache.org/api/email.lua?attachment=true&id=9qxpkrf4m53crm5cpxj4olo5nnjtm0zx&file=bd7092d9c6760a0abb8aa339233a6003488199eda633d12282640fd1926ecab0].
That said, we are perfectly fine, if someone steps up and addresses the issues
/ CVEs found in 7.0.x or 7.1.x - however, it needs to be a "complete" job as we
won't do a release containing known vulnerabilities. The reasoning can be found
on the linked mail thread in which you are free to raise your opinion / voice.
