I thought this proxy was needed for migration from component to service
package? So that users can create services without having to implement
Component and then still be able to use them via ECM.

class MyService {
  void doIt() {}
}

class Client implements Composable, Disposeable {
 =20
  void makeItDoIt() {
    my =3D m_manager.lookup("MyService");
    my.doIt();
    // we know it's a proxy,=20
    // the proxy makes the service implement Component,
    // the cast is needed in order for the code to compile
    m_manager.release((Component) my);
  }
}

Wouldn't the proposed change break the above code?
