In this case, is there any reason to still install/configure A as active bean?
{quote}
I'm not sure. Probably not in this very special scenario. But this is how it is defined right now and changing the behaviour wouldn't be backwards compatible.
{quote}
@Named("a") is a workaround but feels "ugly" and you always have to synchronize the names.

You can still use String constants to avoid error-prone sync :-)

> It's actually a must-have for product development and a common case.
> We would like to have multiple implementations in our core and just activate them via alternative.
> I talked with struberg and its currently not defined in the specs.
> e.g.
> @Named public class A
> @Named @Alternative public class B extends A
> What should acutally happen if B is activated via beans.xml?
> IMO B should be available in EL via "a" and "b".
