It would be nice if org.eclipse.core.jobs could export the public API packages with a version. This would allow downstream consumers to move from require bundle to import package.

Thoughts on this John? Sounds reasonable to me.

I'm dying to hear about all the alternate implementations of the org.eclipse.core.jobs package out there ;)

The jobs bundle consists of one API package and one implementation package. These two packages must go together - for example the API class Job has a superclass in the implementation package. So, using Import-Package here would be a false flexibility - it was never designed to be consumed at package granularity. Adding version to the package would just add one extra step for me when making changes (which I will probably forget to make), and offers no benefits in return.
