Oh .. there is also another best practice when not using the static distro.

Install all features in one command. That allows the resolver to minimize refreshs.

... and of course: Avoid optional imports :)

> Currently, the "full" features resolver is super powerful but some users complain about some effect: 
> 1. as it can cause refresh, it's not "predictable"
> 2. it's not easy to determine the features/bundles installed due to "underlying" caps/reqs resolution
> Even if I think it makes sense to keep the "full" resolver by default, it could be interesting to enable a "simple" resolver (configured via {{etc/org.apache.karaf.features.cfg}}) looking like what we had in Karaf 2.x: more straight forward, just using the content of the feature, and it's up to the user to provide complete features (even by hand or by a tool provided by Karaf).
