How would making the RMAP richer help? There can be only one root request
per CQUERY. If _one_ feature doesn't describe your whole platform, you'd
either have to define a pseudo-feature or a Buckminster component with a
CSPEC. We went for the second approach. The only drawback is that the p2
materializer can only cope with eclipse.feature and osgi.bundle components.
We therefore have this additional line in our MSPEC:
<md:mspecNode namePattern=".*" componentType="buckminster" exclude="true"/>
But maybe I'm missing something here...
