Just to be clear - for me the management API was not about making it the 
exclusive way to communicate to the server because it has obvious issues
when the server isn't running or doesn't have that API available or tools
doesn't have the capability to talk to the api. 

I honestly wasn't trying to "dig" on this - I just want to point out that the File API 
makes the impacts of this for user much less.

Just wanted to know what the status is for the tools that as far as I'm aware primarily the deployment API.

i.e. maven deploy plugin / arquillian especially and how it affects the quickstarts/examples.

Anyone knows the answer to those ?

Never asked for more and to be clear we *are* using the API but trying
to avoid it be a requirement to get started.
