there was long discussion about it. what you say makes sense and that
would be ideal to make service factory a singleton (and speed up things)
however there were some concerns raised AFAIR regarding J2EE/JNDI (but
my memory is short).

the biggest problem with current codebase are unit tests - it is several
months i was not able to run them (i lost previous setup, they are not
very well documented, and they have some stuff that is very hard to run
or maybe impossible ... )
