I suggest a new module along with similar functionality. We are looking for a new home for the Qt ServiceFramwork in Qt and some other similar types of features (Qt P&S?). I couldn't come up with a good spot due to some dependencies and lack of a proper name for the module. I believe this would nicely fit together. Dependency wise this would fit together. I still don't have a good name for it. 

I would like to raise one more issue. We have a potential name clash here which we need to resolve. The QService* namespace is already occupied by some Qt SFW classes. Some aspects are similar between the two but some are different. The names need to distinguish them somehow.
