Nice, I had forgotten about that.  That’s a very local solution though:
only for NM VPN plugins (see e52b953434b255f53e61125c7fd3653adcebdab8).

I don’t think we’d want to generalize that: that’d be redundant with the
service framework and not the right place to add that info since it’s
only partial information about the kind of resources the service needs.
