We use bundles to separate packages along image lines. Our product is
distributed among multiple images so it is helpful to bundle that which is
common and that which is specific to image goals.

Yes, we will use bundles regardless of prereq behavior.

Bundles can be likened to config maps from Envy and config maps were
indispensable then just as bundles are now.

ControlWORKS is a large application, but our customers go well beyond the
framework in creating their own applications. Bundles help to organize an
enormous library.

However, bundles are an image management construct. It is not helpful as the
primary view on the RB. When I work on code it is at the package level. For
this reason, I would like an RB that lists the packages in "my defined
order" and leaves the bundle management to another tool or view.
