this stuff looks interested and that uni-directional comm is something
people have been asking for forever.
I'm a +1 on creating a branch and committing this work to it so we can
peer review its development

I'd like to contribute for RHQ in the future. I'll start with not
including the whole proposal in mail, but perhaps we can copy-paste any
pieces you guys would like to discuss or comment on.
Executive Summary:
This new communication system, based on HornetQ, offers reduced
configuration and deployment complexity, improved security and
performance and a simpler, easier to maintain design. The biggest new
features are unidirectional socket listening (server no longer needs to
be able to open socket to agent), performance/scalability via nio/aio
and simple to use SSL based authorization and encryption.

It obviously isn't a small change to sneak in at the end of a release,
but I do think it can be packaged into a fairly localized set of changes
that can be managed in a branch until it's ready. Feedback welcome.
