I would love to see some of these more "exotic" access mechanisms become optional plugins, that exist (pardon the pun)
outside of the core eXist code repository, as distinct sub-projects. Sort of like the concept of external extensions
we've discussed.
Then users could more finely tune which components/access mechanisms they wanted to install/enable which would provide
for a lighter footprint, and smaller security surface being exposed.
+1 for making this stuff more modular and pluggable.
