I just read the JSR 374 page and it doesn't look like a JSR53 upgrade. It
adds: new ways to modify JSON values (using builders) and creates methods
on collection interface to generate a JSON value from them. It doesn't seem
that JSR 374 changes JSR 353. In particular, it adds functionallity to work
with JSR 353 JSON values, but does not modify them. In fact, the point 2.11
says:
2.11 Are there any existing specifications that might be rendered obsolete,
> deprecated, or in need of revision as a result of this work?

> No.
