It is more or less consistent with the electrical system. I briefly suggested separating the various sub-types of submodel during development, but Erik advised against IIRC. On the other hand, it would be nice to place the serviceability property where it more properly belongs: with each sub-sub-model. Unless there is a pressing need to change, or there are definite advantages, I would suggest that we leave things as they are for now. If we all agree, I'll look at moving the serviceability property once I have completed the Seafire (nearly there).
