I think it's good to reduce the number of services you have to install
and add. One thing that I do like though, is that it's much nicer to,
for example, get a database connection by calling getConnection,
instead of getUtility(IConnection). This is true for a number of
different servicelike types, including some things I'm working on right
now.

You mention, the corresponding frameworks above, how will that work?
Basically what I'm looking for is some way of extending the utility
service. So that you still use the same service, but you get a nice
frontend to it.

Are there any plans on doing this?
