Yes. The OSGi stuff will affect many aspects of the project.
(1) Release process. We can release Red5 bundles separately instead of the
whole distribution that includes everything.
(2) Update. The server can be updated with bundles at runtime.
(3) Application deployment. Applications are wrapped as bundles and can be
deployed/installed/uninstalled from OSGi console all at runtime.
(4) Small core plus server extensions. As Red5 is split into several
bundles, you can optionally develop your application with only one of them.
And you can replace one of the server extensions with your own.

And there are more benefits/impact from OSGi. Maybe you can add more. :-)
