Trinath,

1. We need to update the file once service type is added.
Say, if we add firewall service, we need to add corresponding service type
constant.

2. This constants are keys in the dictionary that keeps loaded plugins.
So currently it's 1 plugin per service type.
E.g. core API can have only 1 plugin.

Regarding running multiple plugins for core API: there is "metaplugin"
plugin that was created for such purpose of running several core plugins
simultaneously.
So metaplugin is that single plugin for core API, but it loads other
quantum plugins and then routes API calls to them according to flavor.
You can find more information here:

Thanks,
Eugene.
