Hi Pete,

Thanks for your insight! Thats exactly why i would be keen on not just
dump-bundle-izing dependencies but sort the apples and oranges that "are in
good shape in terms of modularity". This includes:
- proof of concept projects showing things actually work (and not just
resolve)
- repackage/fork libraries of interest and make them more modular
- encourage (by all means) authors to pull those changes back in. (keyword:
feedback pipe) -> this is far easier to do if you can showcase scenarios
why this is really useful and not just for the niche of OSGi-Nerds. *Put
Modularity on the Flag and OSGi in your toolbox. Not the other way around.*
