@Antoine, so which content do you see in CDI Lite ? Are you sure about events ? 

I'm in favor of a "fatter" 330 that would have :
  • @Inject : already there
  • @Qualifier : already there
  • Producers and disposers
  • Programatic lookup
  • Java SE Bootstrap
When you say "The goal here is not to propose a new EE profile but a subspec", 330 could already be seen as a subspec. If you put events apparts, what would be missing in this list in your point of view ? And what obstacles do you see in archieving this ?

To boostrap CDI we have a CDIProvider, why not having an InjectionProvider just to bootstrap 330 (then, CDIProvider could extend InjectionProvider, so it bootstraps the all thing) ?

Yes Arjan, I think it's the first reason. We really should work with them to understand what should be added to CDI 2.0 to have it as a first citizen DI in their spec.

I can't find an exact reference anymore, but I somewhat remember that
one of the reasons was also simply that CDI as a general solution
finished late in Java EE 6, while JAX-RS finished earlier and had all
the work for their own DI solution already done.
