Yes, the optional state has two reasons: - decouple from overall compile/testsuite until module is stable. - mark the module as "should be installed via a separate, additional binary dist"
I think that the current jboss dist is very heavyweight and nearly everybody needs to cut it down to exactly the configuration that is needed ... I prefer having a leaner main dist and several additional ("optional") packages, although that was not quite that easy in the past having that central .jcml File ... But now RH rulez!
