You are absolutely correct, with the additional requirement that it is
not registration that is really important, but that the MBean has been
started (i.e. init+start).
Also, this should not be handled by the service itself, but by some
third party "relationship handler". This makes the MBeans themselves
much simpler and less reliant on each other I think.
