I think the idea was to release something quick with MP work on a stable version. The earliest conversations about this are from March / April and TomEE 8 was not ready back then.
Right now, we have TomEE 8 with full MP 1.3 support and TomEE 7.1 with partial MP 1.2 support. I think there is not much we can do moving forward in 7.1, since implementations require CDI 2.0 and we can focus entirely in TomEE 8.
