I think the wise course is to assume the change will not make any given release... at least, until there is a PR ready to go.

> Due to various design and implementation problems, especially on Windows, we should discontinue VFS.  It could be replaced by the following:
> * URL handlers:
> ** A "deployment" URL handler which could possibly use standard {{\!/}} syntax (but extended to arbitrary levels) to identify nested JARs, like this: {{deployment:/myApp.ear!/lib/someThing.jar!/org/foo/Bar.class}}
> ** An "ext" URL handler which would identify extensions by name: {{ext:/my-extension/org/foo/Bar.class}}
> ** Normal {{jar}} URLs for filesystem JARs
> * The URL handlers should use a "current application server" context selector in order to convert the global ref into an AS instance-relative ref, as we should not be maintaining global state
> * Separate module loaders (and services, if appropriate) for the above three cases, whose class loaders in turn use the above URL schemes (as appropriate) for code source and resource URLs
