The JSR107 is finalised years ago and in maintenance mode. It also targets Java 1.6. There needs to be a new standardisation effort to do this.

JCache itself would have to be abandoned completely, as it contains IP from some of the original partners and also falls under the now-forbidden javax namespace.
There are two avenues for an equivalent effort: within Microprofile or within JakartaEE.
