I start developing after a reboot and KeyCloak's server isn't
running. The auth is broken because the server isn't running because
I forgot to start it.

My reading of the original email was that the standalone server would
be the only distribution. IE there would be no more warfile distribution.
Right.
But it would be a distribution that has two modes. The modes
would be standalone mode and a mode that would allow it to join a
WildFly domain.
You could still deploy your applications to the Keycloak distribution.
But for production, that's probably not what you want.
What I don't understand is what problems it would cause. Can you
elaborate on that?
