Yes, it is intentionally more open-ended.

SE 8 is the requirement for EE8. JSF 2.3 will be the first release of
JSF where we abandon our long-standing policy of lagging one SE release
behind. We don't have any special mandate to add SE 8 features to
existing APIs, but if someone wants to suggest things, we're open to it.
For example, I've long wondered if Lambdas can be used for flow
definition.
KM> Also, in terms of potential features/changes, OmniFaces is a very good

Yes, it is. JSF community member Ryan de Laplante has submitted a
number of spec issues pointing to OmniFaces.
