sadly, I can´t think of any viable solution at this point. :)
I'm not really looking forward to having to update my ~/Library/Application Support TM bundles with any new stuff from the application package bundles for each & every point release of Textmate and yet that's what it seems we'll have to do.
I don't think it's as bad as you predict. It's not like you'll make a copy of all default bundles, change a lot of things, and then we'll likewise change a lot of things in the default for the next release, and somehow you want our changes and keep your own as well!?!
I think I'm convinced that I'll separate styles from rules _before_ I do the syntax-makeover, so hopefully that should soon cure the need for having "normal users" modify the syntaxes (to change the visuals).
Also, if you have e.g. a default HTML bundle and you make a local HTML bundle, it'll overshadow the default stuff on a per directory-basis. So if you only make macros in your local copy, it'll only be the macros directory you'll need to update if you want some of the new defaults.
Kind regards Allan
