+== Overview
+
+This proposal specifies the move of BOMs to the Server Repository, for both WildFly and JBoss EAP, which should prevent recurrent synchronization issues (e.g. WFLY-18043, WFLY-18155, WFLY-17879), and simplify maintenance and the WildFly/EAP release processes.

+== Requirements
+
+=== Hard Requirements
+
+* The BOMs sources should be moved to the Server repository, and placed in a new /boms/user directory. The BOMs sources repository history should be included in such move.
+
+* Any dependency on the BOMs source repository should be updated to depend instead on the directory /boms/user in the Server's source repository:
+** WildFly Quickstarts GitHub Actions CI
+
+* The following repositories should be archived after the first related Server release includes the BOMs sources:
+** https://github.com/wildfly/boms
+** https://github.com/jboss-developer/jboss-eap-boms
+
+=== Nice-to-Have Requirements
+
+* N/A
+
+=== Non-Requirements
+
+* N/A
+
+== Test Plan
+
+* The BOMs Maven modules will be added to the server's Maven Project, and thus the BOMs building will be tested along any Server's build test.  identify and
+
+== Community Documentation
+
+* No community documentation reference to the BOMs source repository exists, requiring an update.
+
+== Release Note Content
+
+* The sources for WildFly/JBoss EAP BOMs builder are now included with the server sources, and may be found in the /boms/user directory.
