Yes - org.apache.avalon.framework.service.ServiceManager
It identical to ComponentManager with the exception that it is independent
of the Component marker interface.

Absolutly not - there is a lot of noice covering stuff that has been 
discussed lots of times before - I am confident on predicting that 
Avalon 5 will look very much like Avalon today - with perhaps a few 
carefully thought-out optimizations (and I really mean numbers of 
changescan be counted on the fingers of one hand - e.g. deprication of 
remove() on CM/SM would be one such change).

Cheers, Steve.
