Technically it already is. We need Equinox for OSGi dependencies.

Right. That is a concern that needs to be discussed. Personally, I don't see this as an issue because sometimes we already do. However, I could also see this being a nice example for a "micro" project. On GitHub I would simply create it and be done. Doesn't work with Eclipse yet. Setting up a new project is heavy. :)
