[cdi-dev] inheritance of cdi scopes

"
Tasks that are submitted to a managed instance of ExecutorService may still
be running after the lifecycle of the submitting component. Therefore, CDI
beans with a scope of @RequestScoped, @SessionScoped, or
@ConversationScoped are not recommended to use as tasks as it cannot be
guaranteed that the tasks will complete before the CDI context is
destroyed.
"

States that the context is not inherited, is that what you mean?
