Matt, I think this is a great idea, and I think it could also provide a bridge to the reduced kernel build of NiFi with separate extensions that the extensions registry will ultimately offer. Once the MiNiFi and NiFi assemblies are complete, it should be possible to add a third which does include the UI/API, but does not include the majority of specialized processor NARs, etc.
