Oscar was driven by the features I was interested in and what users complained about, it seemed to work okay.

I am not saying that we are not interested in spec compliance, since I think we would all like this. My point is that we have limited resources, so if we have to choose between working on something that no one wants but is spec complaint or something that people want but is not necessarily related to the spec, then we will probably choose the latter...especially since this is a volunteer effort.

However, we fully encourage and support any volunteers that wish to work on spec compliance issues. :-)

Well the question is: do you describe Felix as an OSGi framework implementation or a framework which implement portions of the OSGi framework specification?

I desperately hope it is the former. Otherwise it is like Tomcat picking and chosing what parts of servlet or JSP it implements.

For the Framework, the following is optional

   Security
   Require-Bundle
   Fragments

The question is how important it is for Felix to be compliant. As an
OSGi official I would say: Paramount! However, from I guess that looks
slightly more subtle from Richard's perspective. :-)

Kind regards,
