[cdi-dev] Inconsistency in the spec regarding remote EJBs

[Romain Manni-Bucau]

This mainly implies failure cases so I guess as much apps rely on it that
apps relying on impl and vendor specific behavior.

That said not sure we need to spend time on it being said EJB are not being
updated much and are slowly replaced by other spec.

Side note: this last point makes me think for future integration CDI should
limit itself to the "contract" with other spec fully ignoring impl in its
own wording. Maybe it is the lesson we need to learn.
