I don't think all our requirements apply for all embedded use cases.  That said I don't think that the flat-classpath embedded arrangement is suitable for testing our own stuff in most cases, but I think some users will want to do it that way.  I agree that long-term we should focus on encouraging users to run in a modularized environment.
