Markus,
DynamicFeature is a deploy time concept and will remain to be deploy time concept. Votes on the Jira issue will not change my opinion. Especially as there is no way to cast -1 votes.
Filters an make their decision based on HTTP headers already. If we did what you are suggesting it would have a significant negative impact on performance because we would have to consult the features and assemble a new filter chain with every incoming request.
Regards,
Marek
