This has come up a couple times and I'd just like to gauge the current 
feeling on the topic.

Currently the IdP is bundled as a standard Java web application (WAR). 
This means that people have to set up a Servlet container of some sort 
in order to run the IdP.  My thinking for a while has been that we 
should move to a model where the IdP is a standalone application.  That 
is, it would require that Java be installed but otherwise would be fully 
self-contained.

Do you agree with this?

If this were the *only* distribution (i.e. no more WAR) would this be a 
problem for you?
