OK - sun/management/spi/AgentProvider.java is a private
interface that only classes in the JDK can implement, and
is not designed to be extended outside of the JDK, so I
agree that what you have seems to be sufficient for the purpose
of decoupling. Because nothing outside of the JDK can implement
it then it can be revisited and amended later if we have other uses.

+1 if Mandy is OK :-)
