+1 to that, makes sense to base it off CDI in preparation for ManagedBean deprecation.

Subject: [jsr344-experts] 1087-ViewScoped: PROPOSAL
Hello Experts,
JSF 2.0 added the annotation javax.faces.bean.ViewScoped [1].
Currently, it's specification is tightly bound to the pre-CDI Managed
Bean specification, which will eventually be deprecated.
When this annotation, along with ManagedBean is found on a class, the
runtime must act as if a <managed-bean-scope>view<managed-bean-scope>
element was declared for the corresponding managed bean.
730-FacesFlows introduces a @FlowScoped [2].
FlowScoped is a CDI scope that causes the runtime to consider classes
with this annotation to be in the scope of the specified Flow. The
implementation must provide an implementation of
javax.enterprise.inject.spi.Extension that implements the semantics
such that beans with this annotation are created when the user enters
into the specified Flow, and de-allocated when the user exits the
specified Flow.
PROPOSAL
Create a new annotation javax.faces.flow.ViewScoped with this
specification.
ViewScoped is a CDI scope that causes the runtime to consider classes
with this annotation to be in scope as long as the user stays on the
same view. When the user navigates to a different view, @ViewScoped
beans must be made available for garbage collection.
