I'd also go for that one - it would be clearer and easier to search when
one wants to see how the service is configured, displaying all implem
for given service.
The current tree is a bit unusual.

True. Easier to add new deployment ways, and probably easier to search.

+42 for a way to get the default implem - a template that just consume
the right one should be enough and self-explanatory.
Having a tree based on services instead of implem will allow that in an
easy way.
