kernel services
Hi,
We discussed a while ago about making kernel services available to blocks. I
would like to implement that because as I understand Phoenix should work on
a variety of platforms and by moving the code in the application space will
make its deployment much more flexible.
What I would like to know is if we want to restrict the access to available
kernel services or just make the available if they are specified in .xinfo
file?

I like Stephens idea of making it as "safe" as possible. I think we should
also mark this as an experimental feature until we see how it evolves.
Perhaps issue a warning saying "You are using experimental feature. High
probability of change or removal in future" or something similar so people
don't become too attached to it ;)

Agreed.

I think we have to be more rigorous than that. It seems to make sense to
use the same pattern of "dependency demand" / "service provision" that
exists between xinfo and the assembly.xml file, but applied to the kernel
and installed kernel services.
