I've been considering this for a while and here are my own thoughts.
If someone is developing an application using rules, they might use it in a servlet or EJB container. In the case of EJB container, the top 3 support JMX. I don't see much benefit of having a Jess JMX in this particular case, since there would be other application related properties/settings which shouldn't be part of a "jess jmx".
If someone is using it in Tomcat 5, JMX support is built in. All one has to do is write a MBean and register it. In this case, having a MBean to manage deploy/redeploy/undeploy a rule application would be nice. In most cases, users would have to extend the base "jess mbeans" to make it specific to thier app. If someone is using a servlet container that doesn't support JMX, it's a moot issue since you can't use mbeans anyways.
Most of the time I think if mbeans and JMX in the context of a complete webapp packaged as a .war or .ear file. In those cases, a stock mbean would need to provide the minimum to make sure it was flexible enough to drop into different kinds of applications. Given there is already JSR94, I think there isn't much benefit to providing a base mbean in jess. JSR94 already contains concept of initializing a rules engine, so what other kinds of deployment related support would one need?

Not planned for 7.0, no.

Can you give us a 20,000 foot view of what this would look like, for
someone who is not familiar with JMX or MBeans?
