Hi all, there is now also a discussion in CDI [1] about it and a follow up issue here: [2].
Given this current discussions, we are most likely save to raise this challenge as the behaviour tested isn't really defined in CDI 4 (CDI admitted it and they are discussing it for 5 now) + the arguments raised by Mark and Romain. If no one yells a loud stop, I am going to proceed with the formal steps next week.
