That’s a good idea, but instead of the config, I would create a "runtime" distribution with the "simple" features service (instead of the current one).
So the update proposal is: 1. Introduce autoRefresh property in etc/org.apache.karaf.features.cfg for Karaf 4.2.x and 4.3.x standard distribution 2. Introduce runtime distribution in Karaf 4.3.x using the "simple" features service (I will create a PR about that for discussion). Good idea Romain !
