It's quite useful -- a class that parses a stacks.xml and presents an API for instantiating channels. Reinventing that particular wheel in every project that uses JGroups seems silly. I'd be perfectly happy to publish the AS's ChannelFactory impl as a separate module with no dependencies other than JGroups itself.
