But service not available is a normal and expected condition (at least the
way it works right now with the Minerva pools) not an exceptional condition,
so it'd be better design to use a boolean.

Based on experience, I'd suggest that a better way would be to return
nothing in case of success, and throw something like
ServiceNotAvailableException in case of failure. This simplifies handling -
you eventually get bored of checking the booleans, and the code without
such checking is cleaner.
