Description

So I recently opened an issue about services not working with micro_ros_arduino. #1392

The problem was quickly solved by modifying the colcon-verylowmem.meta file in micro_ros_arduino library and rebuilding the library afterwards.

However, that got me thinking why is the DRMW_UXRCE_MAX_SERVICES set to 0 in that file. What is the reasoning behind initially setting the maximum services to 0? What benefits does it bring?

I would greatly appreciate if someone was able to give me a brief explanation to why it might be wise to limit maximum services if I'm not currently using them in my system.

Thank you.

Research direction

Read the colcon-verylowmem.meta file in the micro_ros_arduino library and inspect the DRMW_UXRCE_MAX_SERVICES setting, then review the context from issue #1392. Done would mean documenting the rationale for the default value and its benefits when services are unused; no code change or test is specified.
