I think its correct like this. The OSGi subsystem provides the OSGi 
service registry. Subsystem Foo may choose to publish a service in that 
registry which would then readily be available for installed bundles to 
use. The OSGi subsystem does not need to know about Foo.

The dependency on org.jboss.as.osgi is there because Foo provides a 
PASSIVE service which activates when the Framework comes up. If the 
Framework was coming up eagerly a dependency on org.osgi.core would be 
sufficient. You should see no performance impact due to these additional 
services (i.e. only passive service registration)
