sounds like a good plan (though general at jakarta is more appropriate
than the pmc: the pmc's best used only for confidential matters - anyone
with an opinion can opine on general)

that's what it's there for :)

i think that it would be better to be able to provide a user with ways
to make JCL perform reasonably in any of the theoretically possible use
cases. an impl jar is required for a small number. if it might be
unfortunate consequences, we can note that in the troubleshooting
document. that way, the user gets to decide upon the tradeoff: should
they adopt a different configuration or are they willing to live with
the consequences.
