Currently, each subproject has its own lifecycle, but they share the same trunk / tags. I.e. when you release a subproject, you don't release everything, but just copy the subproject subtree into the main tags tree. It works and does not imply that you have to release everything at the same time.
FWIW, I remember talking with the maven guys and they were considering to change the way the have organized the plugins (they currently also share the same trunk/tags) to use separate trunk/tags/branches for each plugin. Anyway, I think this is a different debate and both can work. I think it might be better to follow the existing conventions in Felix for Karaf, and reconsider using a separate svn tree for each subproject if the need arise.
