When we switched to spring at the core we considered going with OSGi at the time. See http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/GeoServer+2.0+Technology (not quite the right name, as we still haven't gone to 2.0, I think we did the change for 1.5 maybe?)
It's been great to start to see OSGi integrated with Spring, OSGi itself was a bit young at the time, but we've been excited by the possibilities. So at some point it would be cool to make it a real OSGi application with the spring dynamic beans. But as of now there doesn't seem to be a huge use case for it, except that plugging in services with out a restart would be cool. Getting GeoTools as OSGi bundles is obviously a great first step in that direction, I'd be psyched to see it happen.
