I would be against us bringing in something that makes a nasty barrier for entry for existing users. Think about the current situation with classic and artemis where one of the biggest issues has been that a user cannot simply take his/her configuration and just update the broker to the new version, theres quite some minefield to migrate. And probably alot of the reason why still a large part of community is still on classic. If we ended up coming up with some system that starts from scratch and makes it that maybe not all is implemented we will basically be making that chasm worse. We should be making this as easy as possible for existing users / admins to just upgrade. User Community needs to come first here.
