No, we don't. But intending to have multiple implementations is only the traditional - yet very valid and important - reason. In the OSGi context another reason is proper separation of API and implementation and thus proper wiring separation: Consider upgrading an implementation in the case of split api/impl and the case of combined api/impl. In the case of split bundles, upgrading the impl only causes consumers of services to be touched. In the case of combined bundles all bundles wiring to the API are touched ! But I agree, we probably don't need to split... Regards Felix
