Why not? Existing applications (empty beans.xml) will still work as 
before so there is no regression. If a lib wants to support 
bean-discovery-mode="annotated" then it has to adapt. It would be better 
if they did not have to but it's too late at this point.

Yes, this was a risk when implicit bean archives were introduced. This 
was in the end mitigated by only making CDI annotations as bean defining 
(most likely other IoC won't use CDI annotations) plus introducing 
bdm="none" mode.
