Hi everyone,

It's great to see the progress on Surefire 3.0 and I wanted to reach out to
discuss a practicable problem with the 2.x line. There are a number of
fixes for JUnit 5 that are only available in the 3.x line that isn't GA
yet. [1][2]

Putting my Spring Boot hat for a min, this actually prevents us from
upgrading our test support to JUnit 5: our plan is to offer maximum
flexibility by providing the vintage engine (so that users can keep their
tests and migrate at their own pace).

We can't upgrade to a milestone as our upgrade policy prevents that
(regardless of how stable this is and especially since backward
incompatible changes have been pushed to the latest milestone). So we're
kind of stuck.

Would there be an appetite to backport those fixes and release a 2.22.2?

Thanks,
S.
