Agree having a core platform neutral distribution is step 0 -- I do think at least having instructions on how to turn that core distribution into something immediately usable is really important. So even if we don't actually build a distro in the near term that _contains_ bits like Axis and Tomcat, we shouldn't consider the core distro complete until it has clear directions on how users can do their own bolting on of those bits.

Including Axis (a runtime for WSM) is an argument for including Tomcat (a runtime for NetUI). For now, I'd rather go without and we can include containers on which WSM / NetUI artifacts execute at some point with a heavier distribution. I'm going to start working on getting the core of the proposed distribution structure going. We can bolt on Axis / Tomcat later pending the outcome of this discussion. Thanks for the feedback.
