Perhaps I had a wrong understanding of the different implementations
we currently have - I thought, it's not only the way how to
configure the components but also that there are some difference
in the features provided to implement components.

Hmm, is there a rough explanation of the differences available?
I think, there was a discussion about this some months ago in
the mailing list, right. So I can look up there.

Anyway, different implementations mean different code bases for
the same tasks. An alternative might be (and it's nothing more
than a loud thought) to have a common core and several "plugins"
for the different purposes.

It's correct, that this is the first part to do.

And what can I do, if I want to combine to open source projects,
the first one using container implementation A and the second
one container implementation B? Hmmm.
