Well, what I'm really interested in is entirely reworking how AS is 
consumed.  Specifically,

* Getting boot time fast enough so that embedded is actually usable
* Writing a maven plugin for embedded (so it works as nicely as jetty's)
* Further modularizing components so that they can be easily removed/added
* Further mavenize the modular components
* Add maven ability to create jboss profiles ad hoc via component 
dependencies (i.e. I depend on EJB and WS profiles and they magically 
only pull in the dependencies they need) (and hook them into embedded). 
  My guess is that this would require a complete restructuring (and 
simplification) of JBoss AS directory structure.

The way JBoss AS is currently used is so 2003.  Its 2010 and its time to 
get JBoss up to speed with what the Java community expects and what 
tools they use.
