Do you think it would confuse developers if the replacement were named
differently? I would assume that those who would use the replacement may
be modifying existing applications. That said, if the name were the same
then it seems like it may be more obvious. If one is looking for the
replacement to @ManagedProperty, it may not be as straight-forward if it
were named differently.

On the other hand, it could be confusing to have the same name carried
forward. However, I think that it would not be any more confusing than the
past couple of years where we've been dealing with CDI and Faces scopes
that were named the same.

Hope this helps.
