Very reasonable imho.
Yes, I also see this as a good compromise.
We then have the ability to at least track bundling.

I'd just like to point out that we have always had the requirement for
package that bundled libraries to carry the "Provides: bundled(libname)"
metadata. What's new here is not needing to go through the FPC to get
an exception. Which perhaps leads to people not declaring their
packages bundled libraries.
