I only got the idea to do so while reviewing your patch.  Back when I 
added new-style services about a decade ago, I remember going over the 
then-existing services and converting those few I identified as suitable 
for conversion.  Unfortunately, I no longer remember exactly what 
criteria I used then.  And looking at the large number of old-style 
services implementing a single interface in existence today, I have the 
bad feeling that I rejected some of them back then, for reasons lost.  I 
just can't imagine all that broken stuff got added in the meantime, by 
copying existing old-style services cargo-cult--style...
