I was not implying that the feature parity with ActiveMQ is a marketing goal. I just wanted to show a case where typically in companies marketing pushes for a major release based on a feature set as they think they can sell it better. As an open source project ActiveMQ/Artemis has the luxury to not being pushed by marketing.

I currently do not see any bigger breaking API changes but I am not so much into the Artemis internals. Until now I was only involved in the OSGi support.

I also think it is very good to talk about the upcoming or planned features. I would make the list rather small though as in my experience the actual features going into the code often differ from the plannings as quite many people are involved at apache projects and the amount of work they put in often can not be predicted well. So I would only look one or two minor versions ahead most of the time.

Are there any features or API breaking changes you'd like to see? My #1 goal is to kick off a conversation.

I don't think setting goals like "feature parity w/ ActiveMQ 5.x" is a marketing goal. I think it is a user-centric goal. Users use features. For Artemis to be a suitable upgrade for ActiveMQ 5.x, a set of features need to be present. My intention with this thread is to discuss and prioritize those features.
