When we added use-server, I've wondered if it would be useful to have this dynamic server selection rule or not, and by then I found it useless. But I'm well aware that use cases have evolved over the last years, and it could be possible that this decision would need to be revisited. Joe, what is your use case, out of curiosity ? It's always important for us to have a compelling use case in mind to implement long-standing features without the fear of creating another thing we may later regret. Thanks, Willy
