We shouldn't branch. It should be enough to exclude o.a.c.core.osgi, 
the knopflerfish libraries and the osgi-servlet bundle when creating 
the distribution. We could also move o.a.c.core.osgi from the Cocoon 
core to some other bundle if it simplfies the release work.

My view is that we can incrementally introduce experimental versions 
of the parts of the block architecture that doesn't depend on OSGi in 
the 2.2.x releases.

Thank may be ok for now, but once 2.2 is "formally" released how do 
you keep it stable without creating a branch.  We should be able to 
add new and interesting stuff to the trunk without affecting the 
supported release.

That was the argument for the current two branches, which resulted that 
the current trunk doesn't get tested by the community and therefore not 
as stable as it could be.

I think we should postpone any branching until one of those new and 
interesting shows up, and see if branching is necessary then. And if we 
branch we must have a plan for how to get to a state when we can merge 
again.
