I think you'd wan't some sensible answer to emotions like that, somewhere on a prominent webpage.
I have one actual question: didn't anyone think about it making sense to write up some stuff about that before making an announcement on sites like slashdot?
LOL Yes. Actually. I wrote several such things, and with permission, I'll
be happy to post or contribute.
Permission granted!

use them as desired (or not).
My favourite quote in the whole discussion so far was this by you Noel...
J2EE
is fundamentally an umbrella specification. It consists of a whole set of
other specs. However, J2EE compatibility is based upon, as I understand it,
a compatibility suite spanning the umbrella.
It isn't sufficient to have Three Rings for the Elven-kings in WS, Seven for
the Dwarf-lords in their halls of XML, Nine for the Mortal Men doomed to
Jakarta. You still need One Ring, not to rule them all, but to find them
and bind them into a comprehensive release that can past the Dark Lord's
TCK.
