    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-4347?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15158716#comment-15158716 ] 

Guillaume Nodet commented on KARAF-4347:
----------------------------------------

I'm not really sure we should install more optional features by default.
I'd rather go into the opposite direction and remove some optional features for 4.1 such as blueprint, etc...
The reason is that when features should reference the SCR feature or extender and so those parts should be installed automatically.

Another possible way to ease the user pain would be to define "default" optional features, i.e. some features which would be automatically installed "on demand".  So blueprint and scr would not be installed by default, but if they are needed by a feature, they could be installed automatically.

The danger would be to start making all features this way, which would then severely limit the amount of control the user has when actually installing features.

> As more and more people use DS/SCR, it's not always obvious to them that they need to install the scr feature. As blueprint programming model is installed by default, and regarding the very low overhead of scr feature, it would make sense to install scr at boot.
