I don’t buy in to that at all - having to hit refresh on the web browser in 
2014 to see if the message count has increased  just doesn’t cut it - and it 
hasn’t for a long time.
As has been said before, the argument about shipping a console to compete can 
be used for a container too - but Karaf doesn’t, it makes it optional - and 
that’s a valid point of view that’s worth replicating.

Or point people to a host of alternatives that would enhance the user 
experience.  What I really don’t understand is that the people who are active 
committers, and actually fix the security issues as they come are all saying 
get rid of the console and our views are being ignored.  Its not our core 
competence, nor should it have to be - we are writing a message broker. If you 
feel strongly about it you are of course more than welcome to help write a new 
console that can be incorporated at a later date.
