[DS] Reverting support to easily change service registration
properties
Hi all
With FELIX-3377 [1] we implemented a simple way for a component to change its own service registration properties on activation and deactivation or at any time calling a new [Ext]ComponentContext method.
We also submitted this feature to the OSGi Alliance to enhance the Declarative Services specification.
In the mean time the OSGi Alliance decided to drop this feature again for the reasons explained in FELIX-4149 [2]. Unfortunately we already have a release of Apache Felix DS/SCR out implementing the feature. Thus we probably cannot just remove it again; can we ?
So I suggest we disable the feature by default and enable it through configuration. If the concensus is, though, to ditch the feature again, I am perfectly fine.
WDYT ?
Regards
Felix

While disabling is the safer way, i'm wondering if there is anyone out
there using this - and if no one speaks up, rather remove it completely.
