But, to accommodate that without tying JSF directly to the platform (a separation we have always maintained), there should be a pluggable class instance resolver which could be satisfied with a CDI implementation, a Spring bean implementation, etc.

Nice Idea. Implementation would delegate all requests for class
instances to single object that really already Util class that loads
classes defined in the configuration. One step forward is using similar
objectto create class instances and make that object plugable. CDI can
substitute such loader to create instances of any Faces objects, even to
inject something into FacesContext.
