+        Register a list of services, given their definitions.
+
+        Traditional charm authoring is focused on implementing hooks.  That is,
+        the charm author is thinking in terms of "What hook am I handling; what
+        does this hook need to do?"  However, in most cases, the real question
+        should be "Do I have the information I need to configure and start this
+        piece of software and, if so, what are the steps for doing so?"  The
+        ServiceManager framework tries to bring the focus to the data and the
+        setup tasks, in the most declarative way possible.
+
+        Service definitions are dicts in the following formats (all keys except
+        'service' are optional)::
+
+            {
+                "service": <service name>,
+                "required_data": <list of required data contexts>,
+                "data_ready": <one or more callbacks>,
+                "data_lost": <one or more callbacks>,
+                "start": <one or more callbacks>,
+                "stop": <one or more callbacks>,
+                "ports": <list of ports to manage>,
+            }
+
+        The 'required_data' list should contain dicts of required data (or
+        dependency managers that act like dicts and know how to collect the data).
+        Only when all items in the 'required_data' list are populated are the list
+        of 'data_ready' and 'start' callbacks executed.  See `is_ready()` for more
+        information.
+
+        The 'data_ready' value should be either a single callback, or a list of
+        callbacks, to be called when all items in 'required_data' pass `is_ready()`.
+        Each callback will be called with the service name as the only parameter.
+        After all of the 'data_ready' callbacks are called, the 'start' callbacks
+        are fired.
+
+        The 'data_lost' value should be either a single callback, or a list of
+        callbacks, to be called when a 'required_data' item no longer passes
+        `is_ready()`.  Each callback will be called with the service name as the
+        only parameter.  After all of the 'data_lost' callbacks are called,
+        the 'stop' callbacks are fired.
+
+        The 'start' value should be either a single callback, or a list of
+        callbacks, to be called when starting the service, after the 'data_ready'
+        callbacks are complete.  Each callback will be called with the service
+        name as the only parameter.  This defaults to
+        `[host.service_start, services.open_ports]`.
+
+        The 'stop' value should be either a single callback, or a list of
+        callbacks, to be called when stopping the service.  If the service is
+        being stopped because it no longer has all of its 'required_data', this
+        will be called after all of the 'data_lost' callbacks are complete.
+        Each callback will be called with the service name as the only parameter.
+        This defaults to `[services.close_ports, host.service_stop]`.
+
+        The 'ports' value should be a list of ports to manage.  The default
+        'start' handler will open the ports after the service is started,
+        and the default 'stop' handler will close the ports prior to stopping
+        the service.
+
+
+        Examples:
+
+        The following registers an Upstart service called bingod that depends on
+        a mongodb relation and which runs a custom `db_migrate` function prior to
+        restarting the service, and a Runit service called spadesd::
+
+            manager = services.ServiceManager([
+                {
+                    'service': 'bingod',
+                    'ports': [80, 443],
+                    'required_data': [MongoRelation(), config(), {'my': 'data'}],
+                    'data_ready': [
