Thanks for chiming in. So it is really not only me who wants deeper CDI integration, even if the spec leads did not have that in mind when filing the JSR 370 application. :-)

Can a 2.1 (non major version) introduce a strong CDI dep ? MVC is a diff story.
For what it's worth, the JSF EG is doing exactly this.
JSF 2.2 already introduced a weak CDI dependency (@FlowScoped is fully CDI based and you can only use it when CDI is available). JSF 2.3 will make this a stronger dependency, among others h:dataTable and ui:repeat now utilize CDI to obtain references to user provided dataModel wrappers.
Kind regards,
