I think that moving SMX Kernel as a subproject of Felix is a good idea from the two points of view : - increase the community around Kernel and provide a great OSGi framework by gathering both Felix and Kernel - for the ServiceMix community, we can focus on the first purpose of ServiceMix : provide a great ESB. So we can focus on the ServiceMix NMR, bundles and components.
