I=E2=80=99ve entered the polishing and documentation phase of
=E2=80=98wip-service-refactor=E2=80=99, with the hope of merging it within =
a few days.

Currently the branch should have no loss of functionality compared to
=E2=80=98master=E2=80=99.  You=E2=80=99re welcome to give it a try!

Recently I=E2=80=99ve removed the controversial =E2=80=98define-record-type=
=E2=80=A0=E2=80=99 unhygienic
macro that I had introduced at a time when I was tired of typing.  ;-)
Overall the patch adds many lines, mostly because services now need to
have all their parameters in a single object.  So we have records like
<static-networking-configuration>, <geoclue-configuration>, and so on.
