Deployement
-----------
During development it is easiest to deploy block by using an (possibly
graphical) OSGi console. Is this ok for production systems, should we
have some web gui?
A graphical installer is fine for development but IMHO not for production. I
need a reproducible state of a system.
Suppose you have a cluster of 5 app servers running Cocoon. I don't want to
connect to every server and install/uninstall blocks there. This is way to
error-prone.
What I think is some kind of block-installation descriptor[1]. I think M2 will
help us here but I haven't had a closer look how this could be done.

just to give an idea what I mean, don't want to say that this *is* the solution.
