What I did not explicitly mention in my previous mail and the graphic is
that an agent would most probably be able to define their own type
extensions on top of what is there.
So the base type for e.g. a WildFly 9 would come from us (=defined on
the Hawkular server, valid for all feeds of that type) and an then a
user-defined type could be loaded from the agent (and is then again
local to that feed).
