P.S. I didn't say it would easy. This is one reason why I didn't 
complete the MetaData stuff since it needs some real world
implementation/usage to flush out all the details.

The basics seem easy to me?

real deployer -> decide scopes (mutable and full)
metadata deployer -> populate ad hoc metadata at the defined scope

The part that is hard (especially when you get the kind of 
ad hoc, ill thought out rules in the javaee specs) is:

user deployer -> process the metadata from this full scope into some bean
deployment that can take part in the dependency mechanism

The staged deployers help since all the real deployers
(defining the scopes) and metadata deployers (populating the metadata)
are done before the user deployers are run.
