Unfortunately at this stage, I don't think any major functionality
changes are a good idea, however if we can get the final bugs cleaned up
and get 1.0 out the door, I can see a very fruitful 1.1 release with
this code ;)

I really like the new services concept, extremely flexible, well done as
alway Timo, and I look forward to seeing it in 1.1 :P
