Jason, Roman, Verena,

I don't think it is such a good idea to keep both value and  
throughput. This complicates clients since they will not know which  
one a particular service will use. I can see doing this as part of a  
well defined transition plan - for example this version of the service  
MUST specify both so that old clients are not broken, and value is  
expected to be removed in the next major release.

Just letting service use which ever one they want is not nice for  
clients. (Or am I mis-understanding?)
