Description

The Felix SCR bundle embeds the OSGi promise library at version 1.0 to make it easy to deploy DS. This is great, but the import range used is [1.0,1.1), which prevents users of the DS API from using promises 1.1.

There should be no reason that Felix SCR needs to have a provider import range - it should be able to substitute any backward compatible version and use a range of [1,2).
