I once planned for CloudStack to be a bunch of components driven by a orchestration engine. Components.xml was written originally intending for administrators to specify at deployment time the components that can be deployed and used by the orchestration engine. CS is no longer like that and it will take a while to get it back to that type of state. The appeal of CS today is that it is a product and we should release it as such for now. --Alex
