+1 on having a general approach. Yes, Sling and Jackrabbit are
independent projects, with different release cycles. In practice though
some features require close coordination between the two projects and
it would be a shame to go through such a difficult process each time.

I think the branches approach is workable, but we need to make sure we
don't mess up things in terms of OSGi versioning.

Another approach is to have the bundle work with older versions as well
by making the feature optional. I would favour this approach but I'm
not sure how feasible it is in this scenario.
