+1 to cutting a release off current master and working towards a release of
the OSGi R8 Framework Felix implementation.

As I am doing the work for SCR R8 implementation I have a question about
the version of the release.  I see you are going up by a major version
to 7.0.0.  Is that the norm for felix release versions based on new
versions of an OSGi specification?  For SCR I was planning on just moving
up minor versions to version 2.2 for the future OSGi R8 Declarative
Services implementation.  The updated specification is backwards compatible
with the OSGi R7 Declarative Services.  But should SCR really be moving up
to version 3.0?
