Ok, I'll say it differently. The real problem is letting internal details, like VFS options, leak to the client. The client only cares about deploying a URL. He doesn't care how this should be done or what is VFS and especially not what VFS options would be needed to workaround a particular problem. If we need to workaround the problem for this particular testcase, that's easy, just introduce a small delay and a note pointing to a JIRA with future work on this. Extending the MainDeployer api with implentation details doesn't offer any real value, it just complicates things. And BTW, I think all VFS options should be visible in bootstrap/vfs.xml with the user able to override them in the command line, or by modifying the file.
