Petition for SUN to push Vendors to get JSR's on Devices

I would like to start a petition for Java Developers to sign (reply to this post with their support to this message) asking Sun MicroSystems to put as much effort in promoting JSR's, which have been through final approval and sitting on the shelf for YEARS in some cases, as they have to push JavaFX Mobile. JavaFX mobile only brings a few sparkles and bling to the mobile UI (which can be done without JavaFX) while there are good useful JSRs such as CHAPI, SVG, and MTA that can provide a much greater positive impact and usefulness to the JavaME platform.
Sun's FAILURE to bring about these JSR to a production level has cost the JavaME community greatly in a reduced market space, and through the inability to achieve meaningful and useful work in the Mobile and Embedded markets.
This Petition also should be pointed to the JCP ME EC to also back and promote these efforts as part of their charter (If it isn't already).

Update:
Oh wow your support is overwhelming. Don't everyone reply at the same time you might crash the servers. With such responses Sun must be scrabbling to figure out what to do. At this rate JavaME Mobile will be dead in a week. In case you think I'm kidding, look at the JavaOne sessions. Notice that in the "core technologies" sessions there is no "Java ME" or "Mobile" topics as there use to be?! And while there is a mobility section it really focuses only on JavaFX, and Webserver communication. Of the 53 topics only 6 have anything to do with other JSRs.
Ok well you have been warned. Thanks for all the fish.
