The discussion here was about it *not* being a (Service-) *Application* 
if anything above making it an *application* makes sense (e.g. providing 
means to communicate with a corresponding GUI application or typical 
installation mechanism for configuration) this could be added 
independently.

The first step is to provide the infrastructure for "embedded" (not in 
the sense of "no-OS", as the term is used in the Wiki) Applications for 
e.g. headless Linux devices and Windows 10 IOT.

OK.

I'll take a look if the working "interface" unit I already have somehow 
can be synchronized / merged  with the NoGUI code in the svn....
