After we have completely switched to Elytron, will there be
*-legacy.xml files for switching back to Picketbox?
I do not expect so.
For anyone who identifies a need to use the PicketBox based security I

For anyone else already using PicketBox I would expect them to bring
their old configuration to WildFly 11 and so will be unaffected by this
discussion.
