[cdi-dev] With the end of Java Config...

Fri Sep 5 10:50:41 EDT 2014

I would just like to note that we definitely support the idea of a Config JSR. And we would provide strong EG representation, and help with RI/TCK. However we are unable to take a lead role in it right now, due to having many other things going on.
