Hi Shameera, Looks like Equinox Luna is a complete revamp of the existing Equinox code base to fix the core issues in Equinox. This is just like implementing C5 to overcome the architectural issues in C4.
We should consider Luna as the OSGi framework implementation for C5. But my only concern is the Luna release schedule[1]. It does not align with the C5 plan as of now. The scheduled release date of Luna is June 25th, 2014. I guess we should continue with Kepler for the moment. As Tom explained there will not be any impact to the APIs except for the hooks which we are yet to use. Once Luna is in a releasable state we should go for it. Thanks, Sameera.
