Thanks to make it clear, Ryan.

 "Service provider"  and "harvester" are not inter-changeable. Harvester
doesn't  have to "provider useful service" except harvesting.

I believe the community may think "providing service" is out of the scope of
meta date harvesting.

Do the community also reject the term "data provider" ?
