I certainly agree there. The big problem though is no one agrees what goes into a
production profile. As an example some say you must disable the FS scanner, but we have
many customers that use it for production. Another example is in EAP we set an arbitrary
-Xmx == 1G. That might be right for some apps, not right for others. We probably should
rely on ergonomics to properly tune that particular setting.
What I have been advocating is that we have shouldn't require lots of tiny tuning. We
should have defaults, or auto-tuned/platform tuned values that work very well in all cases
(something like ergonomics).
