+Service Naming Conventions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+* A service name contains groups, seperated by dots;
+* The DI alias of the bundle is the first group (e.g. ``fos_user``);
+* Use lowercase letters for service and parameter names;
+* A group name uses the underscore notation;
+* Each service has a coresponding parameter containing the class name,
+  following the ``%service name%.class`` convention.
