Marina,
I meant *a* JSR-330 scope, not the default JSR-330 scope :-)
We could introduce a new scope @PoolScoped, however as SLSBs would automatically belong to this scope, and we wouldn't support it for now for other beans, it wouldn't normally be used, so therefore feels like API clutter, when @Stateless already exists.

It's just that right now Stateless EJBs are defined as "dependent" (which normally means their lifecycle depends on the bean into which they are injected), however this is not how they behave! So confusing for a user of CDI + EJB.
