Agreed, Hawkular Services need more love, not to disappear.
It may be renamed to "Hawkular ManageIQ Provider" on the website if that
helps with clarity, but shouldn't disappear.
Also there is no quickstart anymore, it's very rough for people.
What!? This really comes as a surprise for me. All this time my thinking
was that "services" was the thing bundling all parts together and, because
of the quickstarts, I believed that "services" was the preferred way to get
Hawkular. This idea is further supported by exploring the DockerHub, where
only images of Hawkular-services are available.
Also, right after "Inventory" got removed, "services" and
"alerts" were
somewhat redundant for me because "metrics" is included with "alerts"
(and
"services" also includes both). And, now, starting with "metrics 0.27.0
<https://github.com/hawkular/hawkular-metrics/releases/tag/0.27.0>" I can
see that metrics also includes alerts. So, the thing looks more redundant
now. But with time I learned that "services" provides the operations api,
used by ManageIQ. I don't know if there are other features provided by
"services". But those extra features are not documented in the website and
people new to Hawkular won't realize what's the idea behind
"services".

Hawkular Metrics started bundling Alerting in October of last year and
there are no plans to not bundle it.
We need to make a differentiation between the components (Alerting,
Metrics, Trancing) and their integration into other projects. Hawkular
Services is a specific integration for ManageIQ. We need to adjust the
content around the core components to be able to build a community around
the core components. The integrations are just delivery methods for these
components. The integration of Hawkular Metrics and Alerting (there is a
special bundle for that just like Hawkular Services) in OpenShift Origin
has been used a lot more people than Hawkular Services ever was. Yet it is
nowhere featured or discussed. We need to refocus the front page on the
core components. Hawkular Services or Hawkular Metrics & Alerting OpenShift
Origin (or other future integrations) should be mentioned but in another
section.
