If one was to write a new Service for ServiceManager, would the base class be Service, or AbstractService? 

I see two conventions in the source code.  I guess one is the "old" convention, and the other is the "new" convention but I don't know which is which.

It certainly seems that AbstractService is the better choice, because several pure virtual functions from Service have default implementations there, but I just want to make sure this is the right choice.

    The better alternative is of course the "AbstractService" class as it is the newer version and derived from the "Service" class and has a superset of features of the service class. However, pure virtual functions may be useful for enforcing OOPS convention of data hiding and abstraction.
