+1 for hibernate-serviceregistry. For me ssr is just too cryptic and and we usually use full names in modules/projects.

I could live with both. As Steve is saying, there are pro and cons for both. Personally, I have a slight preference for #b.

Validator has no use of it. Search maybe, but I see that a fair bit in the future. The concepts and ideas we took from ORM into
the new Search ServiceManager fulfil the requirements in Search. I don’t think there is an immediate need there for a service registry 
artifact. Not sure about OGM!?
