Guess there are several good topics there:
1. Does EE becomes a new kind of project and no more a spec and portable abstraction with backward compat guarantees (which was until now the only value - but it is a key one for enterprise)?
1.bis. Does EE accept discussions and does a group on top of specs guarantees the well behaving and consistency as it was before or is it individual driven? (See 2.b for ex).
2. Does CDI work on its broken and with no common agreement issues
2.a. backward compat breakages (beans.xml, dropped methods like event ones, ...). Most can be restored easily while nobody adopted it.
2.b. lite profile which is mainly done for an impl with *no* real gain in terms of perf (startup or runtime or even mem) and creates a very ambiguous state where it looks build time friendly whereas only runtime is defined by the spec so really exists and in this case means it just duplicates the api it adds so no user help but more a new mess. Also note community didnt agree on that at all and it was forced even if several alternative were proposed.
The drop of oracle driven dev mutated the ecosystem and the IT ecosystem changed too but EE does not highlight much benefit anymore for companies now due to the new behaviors and releases content (purely tech) so i guess a lot of efforts have to be done to either fix it or to assume it and explicit the project is no more related to its roots.
Both sound ok to me but staying in between is probably to kill itself slowly IMHO.
Hooe it makes sense.
