I expect that the core will not depend on the subsystem. Right now there
are two known management interface types based on the httpserver, and
there should be an extension mechanism that allows for alternate ways to
expose the ModelController without the core being affected, even if the
associated services fail to start. Once I have something fleshed out
I'll send it out.

That's correct; the host.xml parser should just barf if that element

Having a service that's part of the core AS depend on a subsystem makes
me queasy. Mostly because I sense a slippery slope. But there's no
reason it shouldn't work.
