I lean towards implementing this functionality at the ECF Discovery API
layer to also make it available to non 119 users.
Additionally to adding an IServiceEventType, I'd opt for deprecating
org.eclipse.ecf.discovery.IServiceListener.serviceDiscovered(IServiceEvent)/serviceUndiscovered(IServiceEvent)
in favor of a new method serviceChanged. Much like in 119.

Unfortunately this can only be done in the ECF 4.0 time frame which is
probably due next year.
