Thanks for the clarification.
Therefore, the old managed Beans were replaced by CDI, but we can use the _expression_ "Managed Beans" to talk about CDI when used at the Jakarta Faces level

Old managed beans (aka native jsf managed beans) were fully removed see https://jakarta.ee/specifications/faces/4.0/jakarta-faces-4.0#backward-compatibility-with-previous-versions

We did leave some traces of the term here and there, which are spec bugs. It's really good you mentioned this, so I'll take a look to remove them fully. The term "managed bean" was a bit overloaded. There were the JSF native ones, but also a pseudo super spec that made a lot of things in Jakarta EE managed beans (an attempt to unite all different component models), but this one failed / was overshadowed by CDI.

I think we mostly just call the CDI beans in Jakarta Faces "beans" or when they sit behind a page specifically a "backing bean".

Kind regards,
