FWIW, the commit changing this was the following

As I can attest, using an ancient Equinox version (Eclipse Luna) with
modern Tycho (current master) still does work -- which is actually an
amazing feat. :-)
Maybe that change can be reverted?
Equinox.ds is removed from Platform [1] since last release. Actual replacement happened in Oxygen [2] which is compatible enough for my taste. Considering the amount of time equinox.ds issues cost me in the last few years (last one from January [3] [4] ) I don't see keeping it around providing anything else but even more time lost. It's high time for people to just forget it ever existed and use felix.scr all the way.
Best wishes,
