What is the Direction of Quarkus?

An airhacks.fm conversation with John Clingan (@jclingan) about:
Redhat Summit Virtual Experience, Redhat Runtimes Quarkus Support,
Senior Principal Manager of Next Generation Platforms, like
Quarkus, MicroProfile is a major task, the MicroProfile IP flow,
the formal stuff for a working group at Eclipse Foundation,
tracking the MicroProfile progress:
https://github.com/eclipse/microprofile/issues, the working group
draft - what does it mean to be a MicroProfile working group, the
MicroProfile politics, the goal of MicroProfile was to build
specifications for development of microservices, MicroProfile began
as crippled Jakarta EE, MicroProfile extends right now Jakarta EE
with added value, fixing potential MicroProfile incompatibilities
is less problematic and takes less energy to fix, Jakarta EE is a
collection of specifications with a platform spec on top, helidon
and quarkus are moving faster, because they are new, quarkus and
helidon follow opposite philosophies, Quarkus Panache is
proprietary but useful, Quarkus comes with 220 extensions, a half
is camel related, Quarkus Vodafone Greece session at Red Hat
Summit, Quarkus extension enable the integration of external
configuration to configuration subsystem of quarkus, parsing XML at
build time to save resources at runtime, Quarkus supports YAML -
but keep it secret, Bruno Borges loves yaml, MicroProfile config is
fully supported by Quarkus, Quarkus configuration is more than
MicroProfile config, Quarkus Summit sessions, RedHat is a bottom-up
organization, Quarkus is an integration point of various teams like
e.g. Jakarta EE, MicroProfile, Vert.x, Camel, all Quarkus
extensions have to run in dev mode and be compilable into GraalVM
native mode, Quarkus is also driven by community feedback, with
Quarkus you can get the niceness of Jakarta EE again, from 12
replicas to 2-4 replicas to serve the same traffic, startup time
and memory utilization matter a lot in the context of kubernetes,
the costs of running microservices in the clouds, for every
microservice in production you get seven instances in staging
environments, with quarkus you can build the perfect monolith, most
of customers are building microliths, the microprofile hangouts,
