[jboss-dev] Include Web Beans RI in next JBoss 5 release

[Ales Justin]

I'm here backing up Pete (biased from the actual work I did for WB). ;-)

Why this limit?
It's against what we did in the past.
We have a working, but very prototype env, heavily demanded from the 
community.
== perfect ;-)
And it shouldn't/doesn't interfere with any other deployment.
== nothing but (WB) community ++

I agree we need some test in the AS testsuite - I'll work on that with 
the guys (as I did for Seam).
But apart from that, I'm waiting for more reasonable arguments. ;-)

ps: if you ask me, I would include Bob's work in some new AS config from 
default - e.g. rails configuration
