Think of it this way.  There is a finite amount of change that Sun, as
platform spec lead for Java EE 6 is willing to accept.  JSR-299 and
JSR-330 have consumed all of that finite amount!  Perhaps if things
were more stable on the 299 and 330 fronts we'd have room for these
little changes.  For now, we have no plans to produce another revision
of JSF 2.0 before Java EE 6 goes final.  

Also, one must bear in mind the external economic and regulatory
considerations that come into play when allocating resources in any
corporate entity.
