My biggest wish for this new bundle management system is the notion of
versioned bundles. Like ruby gems, bundles should get their own
releases. The problem is that some of the bundle break far too often,
or their key bindings change all of a sudden with an SVN update. I'd
like to know what's going to happen when I'm upgrading a bundle. With
versions and release notes, it would be much easier.


Bundle             Version    Latest version     Update
----------------     ----------    -------------------     ----------
Subversion      1.1           1.2                         [ x ]
Ruby                 0.8           2.1                         [    ]

This also means we'd have some dependencies, just like gems. For
example, Rails bundle v2.0 requires ruby bundle v1.1 + html v2.3, etc.

That being said, I understand some people want to be on the cutting
edge and have the latest snapshot from svn, so perhaps that should be
possible as well (per bundle ?).
