[cdi-dev] Time to start working on CDI lite

[John D. Ament]

Personally, I'm not in favor of a slimmed down runtime.  It was tried with
EJB, but never implemented properly (most implementations that support
EJB-lite actually support the entire thing, except for deprecated stuff).

I think if we define SE properly we won't have a need for this.
