I know we did, but I like changing my mind ;)

1-3. If the CLI was easy to use that would work, except we also need to be able to do it offline. I don't really like the deployment overalys as it all feels a bit magical and black boxed.
4.   I hate this - the user shouldn't have to explode the WAR and also it's in a really strange place for a user to find
5.   That's not an option for the appliance

Maybe what we could do for now is to create add-provider.sh/bat scripts that makes it easier to do without any knowledge of CLI.

Can we not use modules as Bill suggests? We could make the keycloak subsystem depend on a keycloak-providers module and users would register their provider modules there.
