Re: [jboss-dev] Splitting system and user deployments

AFAIK the plan for AS6 is to ship a (almost) empty deploy/ directory. Where all system deployments are in a common location so that they don't need to be present in each server/${config}/ - which will reduce the distribution size. So if we change something for 5.1 then we should consider that too. Not that we introduce a deploy-app which we are going to drop later on.
