>From section 4 on Services:
"The module system could identify service providers by scanning module
artifacts for META-INF/services resource entries, as the ServiceLoader
class does today. That a module provides an implementation of a particular
service is equally fundamental"

My question regards the use of "could" -- a word that indicates
possibility, not certainty. It's peculiar wording. If the module system
still uses META-INF/services, then "could" is misleading. So:

1) Is META-INF/services being planned to go away in the future?
2) What is the relationship between META-INF/services and provides/with
keywords? Who wins in the presence of both?

Cheers,
Paul
