I think this is a very interesting one. How will other Java EE6
features like Bean Validation and Web Beans be used in JSF?
Is it going to be some kind of SPI, making them pluggable or is JSF
going to have compile time dependencies on those frameworks?
After all, Web Beans is one of the things many people will probably
"really need". :-)
