We are also using QtService in a commercial product. I have informed some Digia personnel in the past that we would appreciate having it back in the mainstream of Qt for use under the commercial license.
I am not clear what the appropriate venue is for commercial license holders to make technical roadmap requests. We have several. But I hesitate to gum up this list or the Qt Developer's list with these requests.

But now Qt5.1 has been released without it and I see no plans in the near future to add it back into the mainstream. I know that, for sure, that there are business reasons (i.e. lack of manpower/money) why it has not been picked up again. Here are my questions. Does Digia see an added value in having the Service Framework? If manpower/money were not an issue would the Service Framework be brought back in or would there be anther implementation to provide it functionality? I'm thinking that if it has business and technical merit then there is hope for it, and therefore I will continue using it. Please provide some feedback that I can use in my decision making. > > Alex has started making backlogs for the modules not included.
