Thank you, the term "service abstraction" indeed describes the - to my mind - optimal use case for the object model. That is, as an easily discoverable interface between an established and supported platform and client code. This is the word I had been missing when discussing the ups and downs of object model within our product's codebase. Suddenly I have a tiny bit clearer abstraction model in my head of software. This is the sort of nugget of gold I come to HN for.
