The requirement is just in relation to altering the domain 
configuration, and preventing bad profiles. Deployments could be a 
problem but those can have failures at deploy time (which would be 
resolved by adding the missing subsystem).

I think the rule should be that we only prevent non-working 
configurations. E.g if there is a way to make EJB work without JCA there 
should be no reason to disallow that.
