One thing that it would be useful is hot redeploying of only some of the components of the distribution (annotators or other modules) instead of the entire distribution. I personally like the idea of going towards something a bit more interoperable of our PEARs (that work pretty well indeed) but don't misunderstand me, I'm not for a "we must fully convert to OSGI now", let's put some ideas down and see if they are good. So I think Marshall's point of putting a wiki page to collect all the pros and cons is nice. Cheers, Tommaso
