@Arjan, remember the email I sent to the EE EG entitled "Status of the Java EE 8 specifications". Bill Shannon replied : 

We agree on the long term vision.  This is almost entirely a resource issue.  In order to do this, we have to stop doing something else, or we have to delay the release.  Based on the feedback we've gotten from the community, the things we've chosen to work on right now are the most important.  We'd like to do what you suggest below as well, but it's most likely going to have to be done later.

So I don't know how we could "push" for an MR of the EE Concurrency spec. Any idea ? Except harassing Bill to add resources to the EE Concurrency spec and taking other resources out somewhere else... I don't know how we could do this.

@Mark EE Concurreny could also add a @ThreadScoped like the one in Weld (but with a EE meaning).

EE concurrency spec needs an update anyway. It currently doesn't explicitly require @RequestScoped beans to be supported on a new Thread. That breaks tons of frameworks and makes it barely usable in EE7.

If most of the EG members would be of the opinion that an @Asynchronous interceptor belongs best in Java EE Concurrency, then we can just update that spec, right?

I was somewhat involved with JASPIC 1.1 (as community member) and I think the setup time was pretty fast. Mid feb 2013 we created the JIRA issues, the MR draft was published early march 2013 and the release was with EE 7 end may 2013.

    now works smoothly. The code is not part of a release yet. See this
    test for a simple implementation of an @Async interceptor (basically
    the same as your initial attempt). Note that the chain is repeatable
    but at the same time it is not reset after dispatch to a different
    thread so you no longer need the ThreadLocal nor any other
