I think we should not depend on an implementation if there is an API.
The implementation can bring in unwanted transitive depencies that are
much worse than managing the package dependencies.
At runtime it can be enough to install the impl of course if it brings
along the api.

Hi all,
I updated Karaf trunk (3.0) to use OSGi Compendium 4.3.0. It means
that now, Karaf trunk uses both OSGi and OSGi Compendium 4.3.0
(whereas previously it used OSGi 4.3.0 and OSGi Compendium 4.2.0).
However, to "simplify" version range, I think it makes sense to not
depend from OSGi Compendium but directly from the service
implementation itself (for instance Felix ConfigAdmin, etc). As we
already manage the version of service implementation, I think OSGi
compendium dependency is superfluous.
I raised:

WDYT ?
Thanks
Regards
JB
