Mike,
Cliff mentioned some of this to me at ApacheCon EU a couple of weeks ago.
I'm glad to see you here on the list. :-)

Although the ASF project is currently named "Oscar", it is (as I understand
it) intended to merge the existing Oscar and other OSGi projects. If
Eclipse would be willing to contribute to the development of a unified OSGi
platform within the ASF, that could be one immediately viable approach.
