I prefer jdk.jpackager.runtime.  I think  it makes more sense given the likely future functions that will be implemented there.  User JVM args support and single instance support don’t seem to fit the ’services’ name.  

I’m also hoping that the service daemon support will make it into the JDK 12 deliverable.  Is that out of the question at this point?
