Launch node based on parameters from parameter server

Question

Hello, is it possible to achieve conditional launching of nodes based on parameters (not arguments!) on roslaunch XML files?

A workaround I think of might be a dummy Python node that would eventually launch the given node after evaluating parameters, but being able to do so in the launch file directly would be great.

This will probably never be supported in ROS 1. There was a series of pull requests that added the support, but it was not merged: https://github.com/ros/ros_comm/pull/2097 .
