I'm saying any use of the classloading metadata for the AOP domain construction would be a hack until we have a real solution based on metadata context rather than the classloader of the aspectized class/aspect class/joinpoint. The latter (classloader solution) is just a temporary solution to reproduce what jboss4 does. I don't think we need to create a SPI (which we will need to support forever) for something that is a temporary hack. If we created a SPI, it wouldn't be the Unified ClassLoader or the new classloader it would have to cover all possible classloading models that people might want to plugin to the deployers.
