[Antoine Sabot-Durand (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-318?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12940783#comment-12940783 ] 

Antoine Sabot-Durand commented on CDI-318:
------------------------------------------

[~mkouba] yes section "11.5.6" seems good. And don't forget the main convention : Java Standard Rules. I think we should take that as a rule of thumb : when we're not following JSL and that we do not explicit write it, we're (probably) wrong. That works here ;)

> Is this intentional? Supertypes also include interfaces which are not very useful here as beans may inherit type-level metadata and members from superclasses only.
> Is there any special use-case for this?
