I was only looking at the services in org.eclipse.e4.core.services. I 
think Eric is taking a more broad look at services today and should have a 
more complete list of candidate services shortly.

I just noticed that ESelectionService is missing in your list. I 
think ESelectionService could also be released.

FWIW, I scanned through the "core" services in 
org.eclipse.e4.core.services today. From what I can see, only IEventBroker 
is truly fleshed out and ready to be treated as API. Logger is probably 
used enough at this point that we'll need to keep it, although if I could 
do things over I'd pick the heavily used SLF4J Logger API for better 
interop with existing code. Many of the other services are used internally 
but I'm not sure we have proved they are valuable abstractions or just 
incomplete replacements for existing 3.x API. If any consumers are 
implementing their own IContributionFactory, Adapter, StatusReporter, or 
TranslationService I would be curious to know about them. If there are no 
strong use cases for making them API I suggest just leaving them as 
internal/provisional for this release.
