I have to be honest: I am not sure that I could get the Eclipse Board to 
agree to an LGPL-licensed project at Eclipse, even if it is 
dual-licensed with MIT or BSD. It is not completely out of the question, 
but it would most certainly be a significant risk.

Would EPL+BSD be an option? I am not a lawyer, but I cannot think of a 
scenario where that combination would harm the existing adopters. Anyone 
using the code from the (L)GPL world would continue to do so under the BSD.
