At the moment it is just a thing. Note that kernel.xml also allows you to=
=20
specify configuration data in xml rather than separately (ie in=20
SAR-INF/config.xml).

In the future I think it would be desirable that the format become a lot =
more=20
homogenized. When we get around to implementing=20

http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D12411

I hope we will find a format that is consistent and easy to use. Eventual=
ly I=20
believe that the kernel will be just a container that hosts other contain=
ers.=20
So the deployment format of the kernel will hopefully endup being very=20
similar to the deployment format of applications.
