Since I've been running successfully two of my custom Cocoon 2.2 apps

upgraded trunk to use Spring 2.5. Since it is aimed to be a drop-in
replacement for 2.0.x, I don't expect problems. Doing the upgrade now
gives us some time until we release Cocoon 2.2 final which is scheduled
for the end of the year.
Now we can also think about merging Daniel's work on OSGi (whiteboard),
which requires Spring-OSGi, with trunk. Daniel, maybe you can share your
thoughts on what this would mean for trunk (build system, required code
changes, etc.) and how we can keep the experimental OSGi stuff out of
our releases.
I really like Daniels stuff but why merging it now? Can't we just wait
after the final release?
I don't think that there is much difference if we add it between 2.2.0-rc2 and
2.2.0-final or 2.2.0 and 2.2.1. AFAIU it's only a different way to build and
package Cocoon.
But I agree with you and Grek that we should wait with the merge because we
should focus our limited resources on the final release instead of getting
side-tracked.
