Are we allowed to keep the org.jnosql package here?

While the Spec and standardized API are defined in the new jakarta.nosql project, why are there so many org.jnosql packages in this repository and others? Shouldn't it be org.eclipse.jnosql instead similar to e.g. MicroProfile?
It also has an external ".io" Website, but the package structure uses org.eclipse, which is common to almost every Eclipse project.
Eclipse holds the JNoSQL.org domain, I believe there is no issue on that.
Again @waynebeaton as you are also mentor, is it OK or are projects encouraged to use org.eclipse? I know MicroProfile had a discussion about that, vert.x is among the few using its own "io" package name, so what is the preference of Eclipse Foundation if any? Eclipse Foundation also registered the microprofile.io domain, but that does not mean MicroProfile APIs or features are supposed to use that.
@waynebeaton @otaviojava Any thoughts on that? I know, at least Glassfish still keeps its org.glassfish namespace and it may take several releases of Jakarta EE before that could change if ever, but Glassfish has been mature and stable for many years, while JNoSQL until now could probably just be considered an Alpha release with no significant user base that would be forced to migrate if it changed.
I spoke to the project lead of Jetty and @ivargrimstad at JCrete, they both suggested org.eclipse.nosql could be the better option, but should Eclipse Foundation really have taken ownership of the org.jnosql domain, then maybe both are possible. @waynebeaton Is that the case?
As a Jakarta EE Specification project, I believe that the best option is jakarta.nosql for APIs. Implementation would be under org.eclipse.*, but AFAIK Jakarta NoSQL does not provide any implementation. Anything else is considered exceptional. Regardless of whether or not the Eclipse Foundation owns the domain.
That's correct, e.g. https://github.com/eclipse/jnosql/blob/master/diana/diana-core/src/main/java/org/jnosql/diana/DefaultSort.java implements https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/nosql/blob/master/communication/communication-core/src/main/java/jakarta/nosql/Sort.java. So this project (JNoSQL) is an implementation of Jakarta NoSQL. We shall refactor it with the next releases. Thanks for the clarification.
