Richard S. Hall commented on FELIX-5049:
----------------------------------------
Funny, Tom Watson told me that Equinox used to do something like option (1) but
he had removed it.
I think option (1) creates its own issues, because now you are making it
difficult for bundles to provide newer versions of packages provided by the
framework.
The only valid solution might be for bundles to require a service provider
capability and for that service provider to have a proper "uses" constraint on
the package it uses.
Another option, but less nice, is to use a resolver hook to do what you want.
> Resolver does not choose the revision with the lowest bundle ID

> The Felix Resolver does not pick the exporting bundle with the lowest bundle
> ID when multiple bundles export the same package. This causes
> [ARIES-1398|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARIES-1398]. For steps on
> how to reproduce see that issue.
