Hi Carsten, What were the design consideration for restricting multiple versions of an OSGi bundle in the sling tooling - while this is an inherent and "celebrated" feature natively available in OSGi? There are many use cases where we would want to have this feature in place, and still use Sling.
Although if I understand it right, we can by-pass this feature by not using the sling tooling, and rather use our own mechanism (eg using fileinstall) to have multiple versions of file in the system, I would vote for having this restriction removed from the Sling tooling.
