Let me expand a bit on something I just wrote. When everything is broken up, with formal walls between the pieces, what does "DSpace" mean?
It seems to me that "a release of DSpace" will be a packaging of specific releases of various projects which have been tested together and pronounced fit for general use. I get a dim notion that what is being thought of is that a "DSpace release" would be just a single POM specifying those subproject releases, and Maven would then magically grab all the stuff you need to have something which actually runs. I'm not sure how one handles optional features in that model, unless we have a gadzillion profiles defined. And *third-party* options make it even more interesting. But all this really doesn't much affect Services: up/down, which is (I think) the immediate concern. -- Mark H.
