Right, deciding to send to "premium" or "Free" variants really relies on
business logic so at the end , the backend end must be aware of it ;) . The
thing is where to put that (on the sender ? BE directly accessing the PSUH
endpoint ? ) but for sure it is a must have (as we don't want to the push
server to hold any business logic)
