[cdi-dev] [PROPOSAL] further align CDI and EJB

Perfectly nailed. 
But here is the problem: the EE umbrella does NOT do code. It does NOT provide an own TCK. It just packages together the other specs (and sometimes imposes restrictions and additional features on it).

This sounds to me like quite interesting idea at least at first glance.:) But the question is: Isn't it late to propose any new JSR for upcoming EE 8? I guess it is so this seems to me bit out of scope for CDI 2.x... maybe CDI 3?:)
