I've been an enthusiastic champion regarding the advent of OSGi as used for a Java-based enterprise computing modularity standard. However, I have a very definite compartmentalization in mind as to what role OSGi should play — I draw the line at a single running JVM instance. I don't want to use OSGi as a cornerstone for distributed computing modularity.

I have often heard this concern, but it represents a complete misunderstanding of the work. No one is inventing any new distributed computing software. The effort is to standardize the way in which any existing distributed software system can be configured into an OSGi Framework.
It would be good for posters like this to check their information before posting something a negative comment on a misunderstanding.

enewc is being rather disingenuous here - reading the eweek source article, which is amply quoted from in this posting so as to remove any ambiguity of interpretation, it's quite clear that the eweek article author had precisely the same understanding of Distributed OSGi. It's entirely clear that the purpose Distributed OSGi is to be an enabler for all of the practices that this article posting here advises against. There's no dodging of that point.
