Afaik karaf-4642 only really applies to 3.x unless you use stages with one feature per stage. Features in a single stage are installed all at once, so the order is lost. A simple proof is to look at the list of bundles installed with a bare karaf 4.x install : the order of the installed bundles is unrelated to the order of the features listed in the configuration, that's because a single stage is used.
