words, I think it might be reasonable to have bundling in the outer

find out with a simple repoquery what contains a package.
To me, this idea is not helpful.
All it does is to send upstreams a message which encourages to
disregard the issues of bundling, to work "dirty" and not to care
about their coding quality.
I think the stark reality is that few upstreams these days care about
any message we send, for or against coding quality. We're just not in a
strong position there, as much as I'd love it if we were.
I disagree - We need to send a message, to raise awareness about these
issues ("Beware the beginnigs!") and to be explict againt people who bundle.
Or differently: Not-bunlding is one of the key features, which fuels
Linux befamed security. If you're dropping this, we worse than Windows.
