Good news for us :P

If we reverse the current process so:
1. we create a "dependency" site with Tycho in the traditional way
2. we create a .target file relying on this site
Then we would simplify the way we handle our 3rd-party dependencies, and 
provide a target platform that would be usable by PDE at dev-time.

But I think there is an issue we miss with a .target file, example: 
Component as depends on component jmx, what .target file do we provide 
for it? The same target file as we deliver to deltacloud (which depends 
on as) ?

The big/slow issue is IMHO impossible to avoid for our big product.

It won't probably help on performance, but it will help in dependency 
management.
