I fully agree with lighter app servers and love the EE6 spec with the implementation of profiles. They allow you to have as light an app server as you need - nothing is loaded until it is needed. OSGi-based app servers (GlassFish, JBoss, etc) are doing great things in not only realizing this part of the specification, but also exposing the OSGi container up to the applications, allowing for even more modularity to the developer.
EE6 is the current technology, but I feel, IMHO, that the OSGi EE implementations will be the future.
