+1 for the idea - very useful in yaml context. I've been wanting to see
this for a while.
What I think needs discussion is the security implications this brings.
Currently as long as you can add (Java) catalog items you can gain full access
to the Brooklyn instance so only privileged users should be allowed to do it.
For application deployments "regular" users can only use existing catalog items
which won't let them tinker with Brooklyn internals. Having this in the stock
distribution will change that.
Take for example the Cloud Foundry Service Bridge. Any CF user is able to
spin up an application in Brooklyn.
