Yes we can start brainstorming about it. It's a lot of work. We need to define 
precisely what we call SPI and what we call API and then define rules for SPI 
package name (probably needs "spi" in the package name or api needs to be put 
in an "api" package name), need to think about migration from what we have to 
the target, etc.

Yes but that's not needed. The script service only needs to implement 1 
component role, the interface doesn't have to be a role.
