Absolutely. If you end up allowing components to manage/message each
other, code can get very message and be incredibly difficult to evolve
afterwards. I'm guessing this was one of the ideas behind my gut
feelings against JMX as a Kernel.
There are ways to asynchronously message components while maintaining
predictability. It would be trivial to adapt the EventBus architecture
used in many GUI applications to the server. It is mainly the ad hoc management
that has me mostly concerned.
