I agree that 2.3.x should be bug fix releases. However Spring 3.1 inclusion isn't intended to fix a bug, merely because Spring 3.0 in Karaf 2.3.0 was an oversight, and that replacing it with Spring 3.1 will do little harm, if any.
Is 2.4 line actually necessary (how much farther can we push old Felix and Servlet 2.5?), or it's just because of Spring... If so, then I think it's better to direct development to Karaf 3.0 full throttle, while 2.3 is the last maintenance/stable line.
