Hi, Thanks for sharing your experience.
I don't say that it's your case, but most of the time, when people complains about refresh, it's because they don't know/understand the underlying mechanisms. Basically, I had the case with a customer that used a bunch of optional import and complain of the refresh: the issue was basically a design error and an mistake in the bundles. For the update, I don't know which karaf version you are using, but Karaf 4.2.x has some improvements with feature:update. About spring-boot like, it's part of the karaf-boot scope. Anyway guys, I think you have very good ideas and it's really great you share your experience/use cases. Feel free to create Jira corresponding to your ideas, and feel free to contribute. Any help is welcome !
