There are currently only about 6 specs that have not created a candidate final. I'm not aware of any that don't have a milestone of some sort at this point. Are you running into some?

Regarding staged releases, I have been pushing for every spec to have some publicly available milestone in maven central for use by compatible implementations so that they don't need to validate against the staged final API artifacts. A ratifying compatible implementation for the specification is free to use such artifacts as long as they pass the associated signature tests. Weld is doing this for CDI 4.0.0.
