I think this is a good description of the current state. Maybe we should also add a note that service.namespace could be used to distinguish the services. A more major change would be to make the environment part of the service identity, although IMHO we should then rename the attribute to service.environment (or service.deployment_environment?). But that would be a whole separate issue/PR
