Unloading or lack thereof, aka dlclose

Hello list,
I'm interested in SOA frameworks for embedded devices, and WSN development.

I've been reading through the source code and noticed nothing was ever unloaded.
I was wondering if this was either intentional (and what's the rationale behind this), or either just not-done-yet-but-on-the-TODO-list ?

François.

This is definitely something that is on the todo list. Following the
OSGi spec, during a bundle uninstall, everything from that bundle
should be closed and unloaded.

At the moment there is no TODO list somewhere, might be a good thing
to at to the website.
