[jboss-as7-dev] [Proposal] Dyanmic console module loading for multi-product in EAP6*

[Brian Stansberry]

We do need to make the CLI dynamically extendable; that's a good point. 
Alexey has been looking at that; I'll have a think about the module 
loading implication of doing that.

If you are disabling functionality, you are by definition not an add-on. 
I can't see EDG/JDG fitting into this scheme until what I describe as 
the "distribution base" in that wiki is re-scoped to something smaller 
than the current full-EE AS7 appserver. Perhaps some disabling could be 
done by installing as a layered distribution on top of AS7, but I 
suspect that won't be sufficient for everything you guys want to disable.
