What's more, for the first time ever, it's possible to extend Java EE using the CDI extension SPI. That means you can add/modify/remove beans, interceptors, decorators, qualifiers, etc. at startup time, get information about the runtime, and other sorts of tweaking. You could call it Tweak EE (playing off of Tweak UI).

Pete explains this point better than I do. See this interview: http://java.dzone.com/articles/coming-java-ee-extensions-jsr

It's really about exposing information, making Java EE is a good citizen to the frameworks that are trying to plug into it.
