My 2 cents for what its worth.
First, there has been no "official" 2.2 release. The milestone releases
have been done so that everyone could try it out and report back
problems. Although I've heard other committers are using 2.2 in
production, I wouldn't recommend doing so as there are some items that
are continuing to be improved. However, I'd say we are pretty close to
finally having a formal release.
Second, the OSGi support was removed because the core of Cocoon is now
based upon Spring. Spring has created an OSGi subproject which we
believe will be able to be leveraged when it is complete.
For the purpose of a proof-of-concept I would think that using 2.2 would
be the way to go.

Hi Everybody!
I want to use cocoon to create a webdav enabled webapp with a plugin
architecture and I just want to know which version to use. Should I go
for 2.1 or for 2.2? 2.2 seems like a more natural choice because it
contains OSGi support (so I have read), but maybe it isn't really
usable yet.
Unfortunately OSGi support is not going into 2.2. There was
discussion and work toward doing so a while back but at some point
that was removed from the scope so that 2.2 could be released sooner
than later. OSGi support is IIUC still planned for a post-2.2
release. What you will get with 2.2 is a Maven-based build structure
and a SpringFramework-based container, which are very nice features.
This project of is just going to be a proof-of-concept so I don't need
the stability of an officially released version. I have been reading
the Users and Dev archives now for a couple of weeks and it really
looks like 2.2 is going to be a huge step forward and it would be sad
to miss all the new and shiny features :)
What do you propose and/or what do you all use for your personal
cocoon projects?
Personally I've found 2.2 works just fine already, as long as you're
not concerned about API/configuration stability. All my personal
projects use Maven and Spring anyway so having Cocoon work with them
natively is very nice.
For projects at work, though, I'm still sticking with 2.1.x since it's
not acceptable to work against a moving target.
