[Hawkular-dev] Should Keycloak integration be optional?

[Boleslaw Dawidowicz]

I think major question is what do you need - and then please let us know 
on keycloak-dev ;) We'll either try to convince you that you are wrong 
or put your usecase on our roadmap.

If question is between somehow "embedding" keycloak or just have it 
locally installed there is also second part of the story. As it is Auth 
server (Identity Provider) with SSO capabilities for true production 
deployment you would rather want to have this separately deployed. 
You'll likely need to be able to switch to using external instance anyway.
