David, That is some pretty extreme and wild speculation alright. How does one use blueprint to not use OSGi appropriately? In the 5 years I've been consulting with Fuse/Karaf/OSGi and going to various clients not one of them used or uses DS. Not one. They all use bundles, services, and Camel with blueprint. The last time I worked with DS I didn't find it provided any serious advantage and added another layer that I'd have to teach my clients. Not that I wouldn't consider it or use it if I found a real advantage but I haven't.
Red Hat is still shipping Karaf 2.x with Fuse so it is still in OSGi 4.x land much less 5 or 6. So for Camel are you using the Java DSL?
