I think it is very important to resolve as many bundles in one go as
possible. When installing them one by one it usually creates the need
for bundle refreshs.
From the numbering of the bundle ids I found a strange thing btw.
When I create a feature with my own bundle and several dependent
features it seems that my own bundle always has the lowest bundle id and
the others follow in the reverse ordering. It looks a bit a like a depth
first search. I wonder if that could be reversed. It at least would make
finding the user bundles simpler at the end of the list.
Not a big thing for me but I wonder if it could be changed.
I am not sure how it works exactly in the feature resolver. If it spits
out a list of bundles at some point then I think it might just work to
install the bundles in the reverse order.

Yes, I've tried using staged boot, but in 3.0.x it caused some classpath
issues with CXF. It would be great if we could just set up our features so
that they're just installed in the order they're defined.

Have you tried using
(myfeature1,myfeature2),(myfeature3,myfeature4)
so that you end up with 2 stages ?
Ultimately, you can use
(myfeature1),(myfeature2),(myfeature3),(myfeature4)

Karaf 3.0.8+ now provides predictable boot feature startup order, but the
4.0.x line does not provide that guarantee. It apparently tries to be
smart and figure out what you need, but sometimes it just works better if
we can let the user control things explicitly. Is there, perhaps, a
compromise here? Could we perhaps have a switch in the
org.apache.karaf.features.cfg file that allows you to turn on manual
control of the startup order? I'm not the only one who has encountered
this issue. There have been emails recently where other folks have
observed it. Thoughts?
