Marcel,=20


I work for a company that performs integration work for large organizations=
. In that work, I foresee issues with managing and incorporating rapid chan=
ges (eg. patches, bundle updates, etc) as an issue when OSGi powered projec=
ts are deployed into operational environments. Because of the rapid introdu=
ction of OSGi into my customer companies, Ace represents a solution to this=
 problem.=C2=A0=20


My end-goal with this is that I can provide=C2=A0my customers with an open-=
source=C2=A0tool=C2=A0they can use to better manage thier operational deplo=
yment strategies.=20


I hope this makes sense.=20
