Not a bad idea.

Well if we add a few extra features (say a small messaging config), it 
would be largely the same as what we have today. The difference being 
that we can get rid of/disable ALOT of legacy tech (jaxrpc, cmp, etc). 
Essentially it would be a profile heavily geared for development, which 
IMO is the best default for the project.
