I was quoting from the current pom of the proxy impl bundle. I guess
the assumption is that if the framework doesn't support weaving the
weaving code won't get driven so the classes with 1.6 dependencies
won't be driven. I agree it seems like a risky strategy compared to
just carving the weaving-related classes off into their own bundles or
fragments, though - and that kind of major refactoring is something
we'd want to do before 1.0.0.

FWIW, the other bundle with a 1.6 osgi.framework dependency is the
ejb-extender, which has dependencies on BundleWiring.
