Couldn't "we expect" that in such case people would be free to bring their own
Infinispan jars and will be on their own to configure it?
I don't see why they should not be able to configure a clustered cache, as
long as they are careful to isolate ports, etc..

Right, I realize that, but there might be a solution coming we call
"grafting" JGRP-1613
basically it should expose virtually independent channels so that
multiple services
needing an "owned" channel can use them without conflicts, but still sharing
some protocols. So in the specific case of this discussion, people could
reuse the ports, making it easier to configure and possibly faster to
boot, but also
reuse the cluster topology definition and failure detection, making it
less awkward to use as in such
a case you really don't want the topology from the AS to be out of sync with the
topology used by some application cache.
