[wildfly-dev] Should management interfaces be in a subsystem?

[Darran Lofthouse]

The reason this is coming up now is I am working on adding references to 
Elytron services from the interfaces, also I know there is plenty of 
demand for additional configuration options on these.

So the question is should the management interface definitions be a part 
of a subsystem of their own or should they remain a top level?

My vote would be make them a part of a subsystem, my main justifications 
being: -
  - They are going to be dependent on capabilities supplied by other 
subsystems.
  - We already have non-optimal code in there to access subsystem 
supplied services so can clean this up.
  - In standalone mode they should not be strictly necessary, it should 
be possible to remove all remote administration for standalone.

Even in the case of a slave host controller, if that host controller 
pulls it's Elytron definition from the master it could also pull it's 
management interface definitions from master.
