We also will need to setup automated tests for the bundles which are graduated. (See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=206333)

Subject: [equinox-dev] Graduation of Prosyst contributed bundles
The bundles contributed by Prosyst have been in the incubator since July.
The codebase Prosyst donated is already production quality and has been
used in many products at Prosyst. A small number of issues have been
reported against the bundles in the incubator. But these are to be expected
and the committers from Prosyst have been responsive in addressing the
issues. At this point I would like to ask Prosyst which of the incubator
bundles would they like to graduate and support in the Equinox-Bundles
component?
We have the following bundles to consider:
org.eclipse.equinox.util (
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=181731)
org.eclipse.equinox.ds (
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=181733)
org.eclipse.equinox.ip (
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=181734)
org.eclipse.equinox.wireadmin (
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=181736)
org.eclipse.equinox.io (
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=181737)
The last four bundles (ds, ip, wireadmin, io) all provide implementations
to OSGi specifications and do not provide public API. I am concerned about
the amount of public API in the org.eclipse.equinox.util bundle (see
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=206151).
We should consider the following when making this decision:
1) Which bundles does the community need? We do not need to graduate all
the bundles if we determine that the community is not interested in all of
them.
2) Which bundles do we have sufficient resources to support at the
graduated level.
3) How much API will be graduated. Graduated API has a long term commitment
and requires a lot of review and must be positioned such that we do not
break compatibility while evolving the API after graduation.
