I'm a little confused by your question.  IContainerManager is published
as an OSGi service, so you can get at it/use it via calls like:
    

I mean, should we use IContainerManager to keep track of IContainers
or should we use service trackers to track individual "container
services" like IPresenceService? But I guess...
  

I see.  I could see use cases for both/either, depending upon the client needs.  That is, if a client is only ever interested in IPresenceServices, then it might be best simply to lookup/get IPresenceServices directly.  If, OTOH, the client was in need of several types of ECF-based services (IPresenceServices, discovery, etc, etc), then it would make more sense to use the IContainerManager.
