I agree, that there is value in a modular build. Its tracked by
[AS7-5494] Add support for a modular AS7 build
<
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-5494>
It would also allow other projects to decouple from the AS7 release
cycle and provide a minimalistic runtime to support their stuff.
Specifically, I'm interested to go back to a more predictable release
cycle for the jbosgi and again include a standalone runtime with our
distribution. The runtime would be AS7 based, include the osgi subsystem
and possibly other subsystems we integrate with (e.g. naming,
transaction, jmx, web, ...)

This probably needs to be a community driven effort. A "product
in its
own right" actually triggers an armada of jboss/redhat folks to do
additional work on top of what we put out as a community project. This
would only be done if justified by sufficient interest.
A good starting point would be to modify the build such that is
supports configurable subsystems. From a modular service container
perspective it's probably worth to stick with the standards and use
the osgi only profile.
