For now I'd consider embedding / attching the bundle as the way to go "for now". It changes nothing for clients (except) solving the issue and I think we can safely assume WINK is our default (and only) implementation for now.
Other thoughts on the issue.. * Aries SPI fly adresses (but not yet solve?) the issue: http://incubator.apache.org/aries/spi-fly.html * What about an SPIProviderDependecy extension to the DependecyManager?
