[wildfly-dev] Trimming console size

[Jason Greene]

Please refer back to the 20 million past threads that explain why it was chosen, and why it is still a good choice. If you still disagree and still want to criticize it, then please include a reasonable well researched proposal for an alternative technology, and a reasonable action plan and timeline for how we get there.

Thanks
