I believe that Karaf clustering is a first level feature for Karaf 3.0, as such perhaps it can be made available as a user selectable choice - same as one can choose felix, equinox, or another OSGi container.
As the default solution I have to give it a -1, as I think we really need to be able to support it directly in Karaf.
