I didn't mean to say I'd like the ServiceLocator name for getting
Components. As a newbie, I completely agree that Components should come
from a ComponentLocator. I just used the XXXLocator to follow suit with
the mail I was responding to.

If it's already been discussed, I don't mean to bring up an old topic or
start any intense debates, but if a XxxManager is pretty much the same
as an XxxFactory, I think newbies would "get" the name XxxFactory much
more quickly as it's common.

Though I'll admit that most Factory implementations don't have a release
method, so if that's your reason for using the Manager name instead of
Factory, I can see the motivation. Though I don't necessarily think you
have to use the Manager name to get the point across that's it not a
pure Factory implementation.

(I'm assuming a lot here, so just dismiss my arguments if I'm wrong.)
