I agree.  The spec also recommends that we version our service names and 
interfaces, but we don't do that either.

Further, outside of the OpenBMC community, DBus programming conventions 
are such that the service name defines the interface schema for a given 
service.  We don't adhere to that convention either.

The way I look at it is, our use of DBus is mostly an implementation 
detail of our tightly coupled system.  We don't use it as an interface 
to the outside world.  All of these conventions being discussed exist to 
aid with the latter.

Thanks,
Brad
