For RSA, I was thinking of changing the name of this concept from

remote services implementation.
Couldn't we keep to old interface names and thus keep existing
implementations compatible?
Ok...so two things:
First...it's going to be fairly difficult to keep existing 
implementations (of IHostContainerFinder and IProxyContainerFinder) 
completely compatible...because some of the RSA-defined data structures 
(e.g. EndpointDescription) and interfaces (e.g. RemoteServiceAdmin) 
imply different method signatures for the 'container finder/selector' 
semantics.
Second...because of the first issue with compatibility it seems to me it 
might be a good idea to rename the interface from IHostContainerFinder 
to IHostContainerSelector with the move to RSA.  I'm not particularly 
married to IHostContainerSelector, however, so if others disagree about 
the this naming (i.e. prefer 'container finder' to 'container 
selector'...or prefer something else entirely), then please bring it up 
for discussion and propose alternatives.
Might be good to have specific discussions about naming, etc on the RSA 
bug [1] as well.  I'm open to changes in naming (and it's a good time to 
discuss it...since nothing about RSA impl is etched in stone at the moment).
