It's going to create a dependency mess (now all wildfly distributions that want to use
database auth will require Java EE), and it will slow server initialization for very
little gain.

They have a file store.
The Identity Store implementations can be:
a) database via jpa
b) file system (created exclusively for Wildfly)
c) ldap
d) mix and match
Regarding Jason's concern about database authentication requiring EE api
(due to JPA) slowing server startup, that is going to be tough as the
alternative would be straight JDBC.
