> Only the lowest version of the packages is exported with the `uses`
> directive. I believe this will cause some very difficult to debug resolution
> issues. Each export becomes a distinct capability to the resolver. Bundles
> wiring to the 2.6 versions will be constrained by the used packages while
> bundles that can wiring to the higher versions will not be constrained.
> This becomes even more prevalent if a bundle uses the recommended way to
> consume these osgi.contract bundles. There they would import the packages
> without any specified version, but then also put a requirement on the
> osgi.contract for JavaServlet at a specific version. This contract is also
> provided by this servlet-api bundle with the proper uses constraints. But
> now that leaves the resolver with the option to choose any versions exported
> by this bundle. Most likely the framework ResolveContext is going to start
> with the highest version available. And that package will have no uses
> contraints.
