A service depends on the ServiceBroker. ServiceBroker is lightweight and
easy to use in another application. You supply ResourceService and
LoggingService
implementation and off it goes.

Yes. Decoupling Turbine securiy from Peer was one of the major goals of
the rewrite.

100% correct... making JobEntry an interface would be also cool because
one
could write an xml-backed implementation of scheduler to further remove
dependence of Turbine upon a DB. Online management of scheduler tasks
does not seem all that critical to me.
