Finally doing a 5.17.0 release sounds good. That said, I dont personally think https://github.com/apache/activemq/pull/729 is ready for inclusion in a release though, even with an '-rc1' adorned version number previously suggested but apparently no longer planned, since even as a 'first phase' it is surprisingly incomplete, adding some of the JMS 2 'simplified API' but not even doing much of the basic JMS 1.1 level functionality within it, like setting a MessageListener on a JMSConsumer, or creating a durable subscriber (non-shared), or JMSContext's acknowledge() method for doing client-ack (presumably the message method works though), etc.
It also just seems very odd to even think about just *starting* to including stuff like that on main within a couple days of intending to do a release thats nearing being *years* in the making, and getting describe to users as '2-3 weeks' for way over a year now, including multiple times in the last few months. For me, the most obvious idea at this point would actually be for 5.17.x to be branched and proceed without this. Theres a load of stuff in it already that is long overdue like the JDK11 build etc. I would go so far as to say the prior API jar change from early November (https://github.com/apache/activemq/pull/682) should also be effectively reverted, it makes no sense to me on its own. Then all of this stuff then worked on towards a 5.18.x release that actually implements and tests things to a reasonable level thats less likely to see even trivial use cases fail to work.
