Ales Justin commented on CDI-18:
--------------------------------

>> Folks, introducing any hierarchy is exactly the same way broken as BDA itself. Let's just get rid of that piep!

I would say having that *piep* is not so *piep* at all, as it allows you to abstract away diff CL rules.
Who's to say which CL rules are right. ;-)
e.g. JBossAS pre-7 was doing well with that big-ball-o-mud, until that bbom become unmanageable (via JEE expansion ...).

And even if we went directly to modularity / CL, you still need a mechanism to "visit" things API way.
Since CL doesn't expose that, you need a custom layer -- here enter BDA. ;-)

> Currently the spec defines that <interceptors>, <decorators> and <alternatives> affect only the Bean Archives where they are configured in (via beans.xml). 
> Thus if you e.g. enable an Alternative in a WEB-INF/beans.xml, it does NOT count for the jars in it's WEB-INF/lib folder!
> This is pretty unhandy because you would need to repackage all your jars in your WEB-INF/lib folder and add/expand the <alternatives> sections in their beans.xml.
> Needless to say that this is not only hard to do in a company build but is also impossibly to handle at deploy time in an OSGi environment!
