Does this mean that all servers activated from oaf have derive from
Bonobo::Unknown? How does that affect servers whose life-cycle
management isn't a good fit for Bonobo's refcounting?

If you are going to tight integration with Bonobo, shouldn't
the activation daemon be packaged along with Bonobo? What's
the advantage of adding the extra package?
