The issue probably stemmed from the fact that archives were always auto mounted.  With the new system, archives that are not recognized/supported by any deployers or classloaders or whatever are simply ignored and treated as regular files.  We should never need to worry about a global list because the various deployers will always pick up what's theirs.
