So we should not even consider using it for remote access ?

Sure, but profile service is not available to us remotely.

Btw. I don't consider any of the things we want to do very advanced - we 
don't want to be another JON.

Something basic and simple as i.e. Tomcat Management API would be enough 
for us afaics.

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/manager-howto.html

It provides a simple http api to list, start/stop/undeploy 
applications/resources (both local and remote resources)

btw. this is not just for *us* this is for the greater good of AS :)
