I think I possibly can agree that it makes sense. I am normally pro-clarity 
:o)

Interesting to note that 8 new methods here == "not much for a bit of 
documentation in code", and a single convenience method over at OSGi folks is 
a "no no", with the argument that all constrained implementations will suffer 
as a result.
