I expressed myself unclearly in that second email, sorry for that.
What I am looking for is "subscribe to changes in the service binding
table / name table" which is probably some kind of "meta subscription"
compared to the existing ones that fire when a specific service type
comes or goes. The goal is to avoid having to subscribe to lots and
lots of service types explicitly just in order to produce a log of the
cluster state over time. (That said, I have not noticed any problems
with subscribing to hundreds of service types, so maybe it's fine to
just do that instead.)
