This makes absolutely no sense to me. Existing tools will have to be updated anyway to deal with a different directory structure, different configuration files, and likely different jboss deployment descriptors. Assuming this wasn't an issue it's still off by default, so what's the point
foo.war.donotdeploy - Marker for server to ignore foo.war (used to ensure partial deployments does not happen while copying)
If we need this, we are better off just requiring a .deploy marker. It's the same number of steps, and is slightly more intuitive. Note that we can actually detect partially copied zips.
