Re: [equinox-dev] framework shutdown and bundle listeners

Synchronous bundle listeners are notified synchronous so they will
receive the events of all the bundles that are stopped before they are
stopped and their own.

With async bundle listeners it is not defined because the event
delivery is async from the actual event. Events must not be delivered
to bundles that are stopped.

Does this help?

Kind regards,
