I had a similar response when I saw RBAC on such a short runway :)
I'd also say I'm interested to hear more, but the schedule we are
working on is very tight and the first iteration is going to target a
pretty specific set of use cases.
The feature is related to server/domain administrative security, not
application security. I understand that's a bit blurry when the
application is doing server/domain administration.
Since the 'application' John is referring to is RHQ those use-cases you're
targeting are pretty much a subset of what he has in mind (at the risk of putting words in
his mouth, though that's never stopped me before).
I had similar questions for other layered products - if, say, SOA, had some administrative
concepts or roles that weren't present in EAP then should that product be expected to
take advantage of RBAC or does it need to provide an additional RBAC mechanism?

generic/extensible such that applications/layered products could plug into it and use it
for their own authorization purposes? Not only to allow to hook into the roles, but also
be able to attach custom external (app-specific) entities to the roles so third party apps
could use the roles and attach their own concept of "resources" or other
entities to the roles?
