Re: [equinox-dev] When is DS done loading services?

IMHO, reliance on a start levels should
be avoided:

- start levels don't scale if you are
putting together an application that combines features created by separate
development teams (i.e., Feature A has startup sequence, Feature B has
startup sequence, they might be fine if mixed together -  or not)

- start levels create rather brittle
bootstrap sequences that take an effort to maintain through releases (from
the experience of Equinox)

As to the question of DS, let's not
forget that it is just an instrument. From what I understand, its goal
is to help developers work around OSGi complexities. If it does not help,
it needs to be fixed.

Thanks,
