+1. Once we know what services are needed, it's a lot easier to figure 
out which of our process types can provide those things. Ideally any of 
them (except ProcessController) could, as that provides greatest 
flexibility.

BTW, we need to keep in mind that the console needs to work in 
standalone mode as well. That doesn't rule out a very lightweight 
approach though.

I already suggested a discussion about security to begin with.
