Our previous package naming conventions still hold despite the renaming

Yes. I had already renamed packages and there were no packages named
oscar, so the name change has not affected package naming at all.
This is somewhat not inline with the standard procedures at Apache. Although
there are both valid exceptions (standards) and exceptions for various less
obvious reasons (mistakes, over looked, changed homes, etc).
I think the Incubator PMC could give some guidance whether org.apache.osgi or
org.apache.felix can/should/must be used.
Personally, I would favour a solution where the Felix implementation sits in
org.apache.felix and bundles are placed in org.apache.osgi
+1, for the reasons mentioned here and the follow-ups: ASF standard
policy and branding. Package names should reflect the projet they
orginate from and not the specification they implement, e.g. Tomcat
isn't in org.apache.servlets and Xerces isn't in org.apache.jaxp.
Furthermore, I think our goal and the potential of this projet is to
become a top-level project that hosts both the framework and bundle
subprojects. That would be felix.apache.org and not osgi.apache.org.
