Let me state that that one of the goals of e4 should be working on various environments, platforms and thingamajiggers.
Respecting your BREE is very important. I can't count how many times there has been cases where people wanted to use some component (e.g,., Draw2D/GEF) on a more restricted environment but they couldn't due to the BREE of the component. Personally, I think the way Eclipse respect's BREE's ( http://www.eclipsecon.com/eclipse/development/eclipse_project_plan_3_4.html#Appendix1) has been one of our greatest strengths. It has enabled Eclipse technology to be reused on cell phones, embedded devices and even web browsers. With that goal in mind, crafting the BREEs for the e4 plug-ins should be done very carefully with these use cases in mind. On the whole, my recommendation has always been to target the minimum environment unless there's a valid reason not to do so.
