As (I guess now former) member of the Servlet expert group I don't share
those concerns for the Servlet spec.

I can't speak to the others as I wasn't involved.

Assuming that the majority of the Servlet EG members wish to continue
(and it appears so far that they do) and assuming that the new body
switches to a consensus based process where all members have commit
access then I'm confident that the Servlet spec would make considerable
progress both in new areas such as Reactive and in clarifying a good
number of the ambiguities in the current spec that the user community
has been asking to be clarified for some time.
