Yes, these two things are both holes in CDI that we know probably
won't be fixed until CDI 1.1. So we're just going to have to live with
the lack of portability here for a while. It's not perfect, but we
could not do everything in 1.0.

Perfect. Note that this shit is critical. i.e. takes priority over
everything apart from Weld bugfixes and container integration issues

Yes, this shit is actually critical. We already have user complaints.
i.e. also takes priority over everything apart from Weld bugfixes and
container integration issues :-)
