None of us (who have actually *done* the work of researching a way to making filesystem

implement it and submit the patch and it will be considered. Yeah the old mechanism was
"simpler and less correct", which is somehow being touted as a +virtue+ (?!),
however it is also *completely and irretrievably incompatible* with the new domain
management architecture. End of story.
Yes, it's a virtue!!!! The out-of-box experience is the #1 thing you have to
get right. At first a developer wants to try out AS7 and get a WAR running without having
to learn new concepts. ("WTF is a dodeploy file and how would I know that I need
one??")
This is a basic usability problem that has already been solved and we're taking a step
backwards.
So just make the old deployment mechanism only available on standalone. That's the
main place you need it.
