I think that because Enums are not "Classes" they have been excluded. If you look at Brian's issue, I believe this doesn't work in Weld. Maybe it's just a bug, but in any case, the spec is not clear on the issue.

I believe enums in Bean Archives should be scanned today actually, can you see anything in the spec that stops this?

Currently I've defined it as being non-portable to inject into an enum defined in a shared library, as the behavior when injecting contextual instances becomes complex (as this is essentially static injection). Please let me know if this is going to cause a problem for you.
