This was my fault. I used Spring Controllers to write the Geofence Rest 
API, instead of using restful like the rest modules do. Moving the code 
like this would add a few additional spring dependencies to the 
geoserver core, some people objected to that. We concluded the user/role 
api must be either ported to restful, or the geoserver rest must be 
ported to Spring.

You are right there is no way at the moment to enumerate available 
services. As far as read only services are concerned, that will cause an 
IOException and should return some HTTP error code as a result. Is that 
incorrect behaviour?
