It didn't. When adding this, it works! But strange that I had to add this
now. Before, it worked without any explicit activation. Has the default
behaviour changed?

Sounds like the default changes for all components in the system... This is
certainly true for WhateverImpl when using the activation attribute. What
about other components not using the activation attribute? Does the default
change for any component declaration within the same block.xml
(<container>), or even for any component running in the system? I would
expect that each component has its default which may be overridden by the
activation attribute for the component meant by the name attribute, so in:
<container>
<component name="fred" class="WhateverImpl" activation="startup"/>
<component name="alf" class="WhatelseImpl"/>
</container>
That fred is activated on startup and alf is default.

So transient is default, which may be overridden in the component
configuration within block.xml -- for that component (and no others). I
suppose the lifestyle attribute of the avalon.component javadoc tag has
nothing to do with the activation?

I did.
I just started thinking we will never sort these issues out. Now I can start
developing... hopefully. Or at least start running into the next issues.
Thanks,
