Yes, indeed.  Just FYI...there is a new component beginning to use ECF 
remote services with p2...initially described here:

http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/ecf-dev/msg01570.html

ECF is shortly moving to the runtime project, and so are likely to 
continue more fully in this vein.  We welcome your and/or others 
participation.
