this enhancement will create surprise to existing user base.
Also, lib is universal 'lib' directory used by lots of appl and genenated script ( ie produce by appassembler-maven-plugin), each script can place jar file under lib and hand pick the exacts jars to be loaded into the script's main class ( same for karaf ). This is a good contract which to be broken when next release of karaf that has this enhancement
was (Author: danttran):

> I was trying to configure JDBC fail-over, so I put my mysql driver jar in the KARAF_HOME/lib directory. I kept getting ClassNotFoundExceptions. On the advice of someone on IRC, I changed the name to "karaf-mysql-connector-java.jar" and it started working. Why the karaf- prefix requirement? If that's the intended behavior, then please update the README file in the lib directory. It says:
> "Any jar in this folder will be part of the main classloader used to load Karaf."
