I don’t think a new spec is going to make it easier for more teams to use OpenAPI. This isn’t the problem…
What we really need is better tooling to help developers maintain the spec and built generators on top of it.
I’ve been building open source API version control tools built on top of OpenAPI. It’s an easy way to keep your spec up-to-date just by looking at test traffic. If it detects a diff, it will update the OpenAPI sort of like a snapshot test. https://www.useoptic.com/cli
