No, but the right issue tracker is <https://uel.dev.java.net/>;. Thankfully, this could just be specified as changes to the newInstance() method on javax.el.ExpressionFactory. Note that this can already be achieved by decorating the application instance itself and overriding the getExpressionFactory method.
