Any chance to also add the proposed lookup mechanism using a Class and a key instead of just a String as ServiceManager currently does?
Doesn't sound like a good idea to rehash the old discussions once again, but I think all the old arguments (classloader worries, equals() semantics, whatever, ...) still apply against that change. Also, this is a more painful change than from ComponentManager->ServiceManager, which was painful in retrospect. I would urge that documentation is up-to-date, clear, complete and concise for specific framework versions before going through that again.
Guys, I would really really really like to see a big fat black line drawn between the "old" and the "new". Where big fat line includes things like a major version change and a new package name, perhaps even a name change alltogether. Maybe call it "hugehorn" or "AvalonFS" ;)
