Hi Bertrand, I guess one thing you might be able to do is have a service registry hook that hides the service until you 'release' it. It would involve writing a FindHook [1] and a ListenerHook [2] that would hide the service for any other bundle than the one registering it until it calls some API on that hook impl to tell it that the service is generally available.
Hope this helps...
