The great thing about moving stuff to bundles is that users can  
easily customize it, and bundle items have advantages such as  
allowing different version for different scopes and being able to  
trigger via various activation methods (to be extended in the future).

But of course it is also a concern that all functionality of the  
application moves to descendant items of the gear menu -- actually  
something I feared even before the 1.0: that I would end up with a  
“Commands” menu that had dozens of unrelated commands. I think the  
bundles do currently group functionality very well. But I am also  
considering ways to have “bundle items” appear in places currently  
reserved for native functionality.
