One question that came up this week was why isn't the DC also running on 
a minimal AS?  I assume this has already been considered but it would 
bring some additional benefits: -

  - The DC becomes just another host so any instability in the DC and 
the host controller is unaffected and can restart it as required.
  - Whilst minimal services is still desirable services already provided 
within AS can be used.

And also later if there was ever need to implement a more master/slave 
domain controller architecture this could be achieved with a server 
group specifically for the domain controller.
