We can certainly add other comparisons, but we definitely want to keep a comparison page that answers the question of how the different TomEE distributions compare to each other and Tomcat for that particular release. Comparing different TomEE versions to each other or comparing different Jakarta EE versions to other Jakarta EE versions can be useful, but doesn't eliminate the need for a dedicated page that helps people answer the question "Which distribution of TomEE 8 should I download?" On the minor versions. We don't do those often. When we do do them it's because we've changed something fundamental about the server. For example we created TomEE 7.1 because we wanted to add MicroProfile implementations, but did not feel good about doing that in a patch release on 7.0.x. So in reality the 7.0 and 7.1 comparison pages are going to be quite different. The 7.0 page will have no TomEE MicroProfile distribution and no MicroProfile specs. The TomEE 7.1 will have the new TomEE MicroProfile distribution and some MicroProfile specs. What I can't remember is when we added MicroProfile specs to TomEE Plus and Plume. I know initially those two distributions did not contain any MicroProfile support, but I can't remember if we eventually added that before 7.1 went final or if we did that in TomEE 8.0. A page per release will really help us all keep stuff like that straight. -David
