IMHO the plan for Camel 2.9 is to stay on Spring 3.0.x which we have been using all the time. As well the sister Apache projects is using, eg CXF, SMX, Karaf, AMQ etc.
I am pretty sure though Spring is compatible with itself, so you should most likely be able to upgrade and use Spring 3.1 when its released with Camel 2.9.0. The only compelling reason to upgrade to Spring 3.1 would be that it supports Quartz 2.0.x. Spring 3.0.x does not. But that would mean a non backwards compatible upgrade of quartz. Quartz 2.x and 1.x is of course also not binary compatible. And hence a Spring 3.0 -> 3.1 upgrade is not just a drop in replacement of JAR, for end users of Quartz.
