I use bundles to keep my work both together and near the top in the  
browser. I would prefer a better namespace-hierarchy view in the  
browser, and possibly an organisation within packages ala the multiple  
source folders in Eclipse projects. In which case I probably wouldn't  
use bundles, but would instead use Namespaces to organize the  
functional breakdown of my projects.

As I said on my blog: IMO Bundles are a confusing amalgam of  
references-as-pseudo-containment, hierarchical organisational device,  
and packaging convenience. I use them primarily because it keeps my  
packages grouped at the top of the RB browser.

I vote you get rid of them and provide a better code-organizing/
grouping/delimiting tools. Also I would vote for a facility in the RB  
to bring a certain group of packages to the top of the list ala  
Eclipse's working sets.
