Quite the contrary I have often wished that there was a way to get a
minimal version of the entity and service engine. I think if we were
judicious in the use of entity inheritance (ie. Party -> Person, etc.)
that we could have a baseline layer that can run with very little code.
Much in the way that JDK8 had to face the modularity demon, I believe
that eventually stacking things together will eventually become a
problem. At some point that baseline will simply become too large and
imply too great a start-up time and utilize too many resources for
many types of projects.
Look also at what Red Hat has done with the start up time of WildFly.
That is inspirational.
