Sugar Services makes sense for activities that have non-Sugar Platform dependencies or support more then one Sucrose release cycle.

For such activities, development focus is shifted from Sucrose to an API of services they are using. More over, an activity could be assigned to particular service API version (provided that service developers still support this branch); Sugar Services will support several branches for the same service simultaneously.

To utilize the benefits of Services, activity developer need only to [[Activity Team/Documentation/Services/Activity Developers Guide|mention]] all services that their activity is using. Services infrastructure will provide specified services (and specified versions) for the activity and [[Documentation_Team/Services/Activity_Developers_Guide#Attaching_dependencies_to_activity|will let activity know]] about them.

To utilize the benefits of Services, activity developer need only to [[Activity Team/Documentation/Services/Activity Developers Guide|mention all services ~~(or pure 0install feeds)]]~~ that their activity is using. Services infrastructure will provide specified services (and specified versions) for the activity and will ~~export environment variables, e.g., LD_LIBRARY_PATH or PYTHONPATH, to~~ activity ~~session. ''Activity developer need not to adapt their code to Services~~.''
