Agreed, you can bet my team won't be updating our 150+ plug-ins anytime 
soon, if it ain't broke we don't fix. 

If you really want to see people migrate you need to provide a 
braindead-simple migration path. 

Ideally a PDE warning marker on the manifest and a quick-fix as well as 
new UI in the manifest editor. (A "Do The Right Thing" button...)

A lot of people is still using Require-Bundle. It is simpler.
IMHO to make Import-Package more popular, a better eclipse support could 
be useful..... for example eclipse could convert from Require-Bundle to 
Import-Package and viceversa automatically on request.... or 
auto-maintain the list of imported packages with minimal user 
intervention....
