+1

It should be done with every major release (at least), but some of the demos require extra set up (i.e. Amazon S3…etc), which makes them a bit of a PITA to set up, and I guess that's the reason why they have not been ported over to quickstarts.
+1 to test them (at least) before every major release.

I'd much rather have them in infinispan-quickstart just to keep the infinispan core modules to a minimum.
Unless objection, let's move them into the quick-start during the repackaging work that will be done in 6.0.

Are these being used in the product as well?
