Andreas, Willem, Packing up Karaf in Tomcat would be one way to do it, but I think we can also get away with a more plain Tomcat container for many of the use cases listed in Guillaume's mail - as long as we have Camel's core classes in a shared classloader (i.e. in the container's lib folder) and are able to inject a single dynamically modifiable interceptor into the Camel route, we can already do a lot of things like auditing, tracing, ...
There are obviously quite a few things we can only do if we have a more dynamic runtime environment, but in my mind that's OK because that way we also have some good, compelling reasons to move people over to the Karaf runtime version and tell them about all the goodies of OSGi (we still all love OSGi and Karaf ourselves ;)). For advanced use cases, we should definitely guide users towards Karaf, but for a set of basic things, just using Tomcat and simple WARs may be the simplest thing that works for them!
