Your experience on CAL/OSG integration would be useful a guide for the osgAnimation development. My hope is that osgAnimation would be able to replace osgCal usage, but without any experience with osgCal I can't say how easy as step this is right now, or how easy this can be made, so... it would be useful to get feedback from those who've been using osgCal/ReplicantBody as to what is missing/needs improving on osgAnimation to make it possible to move apps over to osgAnimation.
