I was thinking more like '"${interface.module.!ServiceName}" ==
"implementation.module.!ImplementationName"'. Then you just arrange your
symbol sources to look in standard places for these definitions, and you have
maximum configurability.

-My use case for conditional contributions is as follows: A project
implementation is made up of reusable self-contained components and an amount
of custom implementation. Each component is a !HiveMind module as if the
custom implementation. Each component defines its services with service points
in its own hivemodule.xml (inside their jar's) along with the default
implementations for these services. This allows for each component to be
autonomous and be usable on it's on if nessecary. When i use components for a
specific implementation it maybe the case that i don't want to use a default
service implementation defined by a component in it's hivemodule.xml but rather
overwrite it and use another implementation. I'm not sure how this fits into
the general proposal but I see it as a very common use case. Maybe its
possible to have one hivemodule that has the last say about implementations?
Else how can this use case be satisfied with !HiveMind without having to open
up the component jar and change it's hivemodule.xml?
