don't think it'll be a replacement for AS. More along the lines of a

AS, for many, has come to imply:
* $JBOSS_HOME file structure/layout
* Standalone Distribution
* Filesystem and runscript-based interface
Also AS is the upstream path towards our platform/product.
With a new name (Reloaded?) we can more easily shed all backwards-compat
that AS has provided and grow incrementally in a community setting.
