I think I mentioned contrib. They don't have to go in contrib, I think at
the time someone mentioned not wanting to maintain them.. If we don't then I
thought contrib would make sense.
We can keep them normal.
Metron installation artifacts ( templates, schemas, kibana objects,
queries, and dashboards ) should be managed separate from the kibana / es /
solr / packs.
They are artifacts of metron and we need to support installing them on
existing installations.
If they need to be installed in a different phase, or as their own
component, then fine.
we need to break that down more anyway ( like package the 'demo' system +
parser configs as optional ) maybe.
