By rkuhn:

there may be use cases where it is nice to have extensions which offer the service of initializing themselves on-demand, but doing this for remoting sounds wrong: whether you use LocalActorRefProvider or RemoteActorRefProvider is a pretty fundamental decision which needs to be taken before the first actor is created, thus remoting is either on or stays off.
