I'm already working on this and I've found out that we're just a little 
bit early.  See 
http://wildfly-development.1055759.n5.nabble.com/Creating-a-Keycloak-Feature-Pack-td5714921.html

We need Stuart to implement a feature to solve issue #2 and I'm working 
on issue #3 right now so that we can properly install the auth server in 
a domain environment.

We need to think long and hard about this one.  Do we really want two 
appliance downloads?

The answer might come when the WildFly provisioning tool is finished.  
This is a tool that lets you "roll your own" server.  So it's possible 
that we rely on that.   One option might be that we let you download 
"appliance-lite" and then you use the provisioning tool to add other 
things you might want.

Right now it won't run on the web profile.  I've submitted a patch to 
WildFly, so that should be fixed in the next release.
