Customer Impact
Customer use hosted services today to run logic before the server starts. This allows them to prewarm various caches or run any logic that has to run before the server starts. In particular this is easy to do if you own main, but when you're a library, hosted services end up being the answer.
Testing
Added a unit test and did manual testing.
Risk
Low. This is a breaking change between rc1 and rc2 but it's preserving the behavior of the hosts that have come before it, in particular, the web host.
