Hm, what about a scenario in which the same service is available
locally (i.e. on the OPES device) as well as remotely (i.e. on a
callout server). In this case, it would be nice to have a something
like "if my local system load is below a certain threshold, I call the
local service, otherwise I use a remote callout". How would you
implement this if only the service itself takes care about adapting to
dynamic behavior? And, no, I do NOT like the idea of chaining multiple
services :)
