Re: [p2-dev] Service ranking and p2's IAgentServiceFactory.

Tom,

If you are syaing that Equinox's implementation will sort by 
service.ranking, that's not what I'm seeing in 3.7.1, nor 
would I want to trust this to implementation dependent 
behaviour.

Do we agree that it is a bug in p2 not to sort the returned 
services?
