Thanks for responding, Christoph.
I think I got your point about sensible version ranges, but as you mentioned
the features define strict versions. Conflicting might be the wrong word to
use, but the point is that some features specify javax.annotation
1.3.5.qualifier while others specify javax.annotation 1.2.0.qualifier, so AFAIK
these features have conflicting dependency requirements and cannot be installed
at the same time. I was hoping someone would tell me that I am mistaken about
this (

If a never version at runtime is used/allowed depends on the imports in
the Bundle itself.
So if proper imports and use clauses are defined it could be that all
works fine even with different (why they are conflicting?) versions.
In a perfect world, all bundles would use import package with the lower
bound of the lowest working version (e.g. 1.2.0) and an upper bound of
2.0.0 then it would be possible to upgrade up until the next major release.
The problem is, that features does not support version ranges and thus
will still reference the version from the build (or the one forced into
the feature.xml).
