Yes, that is the plan. Ditto for the TCK abstract test class.

I got the TCK compiling locally with the new BeanManager interface, but rather than adding the bridge methods to the old SPI methods in the abstract test class, I added them to a separate utility class, because several things in the TCK that aren't test subclasses use this functionality as well.

I can also add a method to the abstract test class to delegate to the utility class.

Is that ok?
