Exactly this discussion was held when the OSGi Remote Services (now chapter 13 of the OSGi specs [1]) was worked on. Remote Services bring distributed computing to the OSGi programming model. However under the hood this could very well be implemented using SCA. And - if you use a standards based communication binding you can communicate with something written using yet another programming model/language on the other side. OSGi Remote Services is all about developing in the OSGi programming model with bundles and services and using the concepts there to define a remote service. BTW the SCA concept of intents was actually added to the Remote Services specifications, so there is a soft link there. I believe that was is being proposed here by Alexander is something that feels very close to OSGi from a developer point of view. Someone with OSGi and C knowledge would feel right at home. To a developer I think it will look quite different to SCA although I'm sure that if you wanted you could use SCA under the covers here too. The proposal sounds good to me, so here's my +1 to it.
