Java 8 in a JEE Environment

[Brian Goetz]

These properties were decided on with the anticipated needs of EE (and 
similar frameworks) in mind, within the reality of what is practical 
without punishing all uses cases to provide some uses cases with finer 
control.

We can't speak for the EE 8 EG.  It is for them to use these features to 
expose or disable access to the common pool.  We're working with them to 
help them understand the tradeoffs and identify candidate configurations.
