The primary impetus is, in fact, remote events and the fact that they might not
be delivered.  Thus, my code, because it periodically polls, will eventually
discover missing services.  It doesn't audit for service deregistrations though,
so I don't drop services explicitly.  Rather the "cache" reflects what is
currently visible.

My work on the reef.dev.java.net stuff did not involve the caching issue.
