However, if there was a central factory, that used the ServiceRegistry pattern, and framework/entity implemented that, getGenericDelegator then called the ServiceRegistry implementation, logging a warning(from perspective of caller) while doing so, and the base factory then loaded the delegator thru ServiceRegistry, then existing code will still work, you'd get a logged warning, and you'd support the new design.
