I think this is an example of "Terrible Use of packaging API with Implementation". Scenario; 600 bundles, all use Log Service, Log Service implementation needs an upgrade. 600 bundles stopped, 20 minute startup time (we got terrible bundle developers ;o) , instead of a sub-second reload of the LogService Impl bundle ( well, and a few thousand ServiceTrackers working overtime ;o) ) IMHO, the lower down the application stack you are, the greater the benefit to separate API from Impl. And for large applications, it doesn't matter if I need 200 or 400 bundles for it to run, I still need a good Bundle Management system in place.
