The change of the bundle name does not necessarily break all OSGi users.
AFAIK, the recommended way to use an OSGi bundle is to import the
packages, not to require a specific bundle - this use case would not be
affected by the change of the bundle name.
As the change happened a while ago without major complaints, I would
tend towards keeping the new name; but this is more or less a gut feeling.
