It depends on how important we consider the use of bundles that can be cloned from. If it is important enough, what you suggest is an improvement worth doing over what Dscho did. A bundle that can be cloned from (i.e. no prerequisite) is meant to be used without having any repository by definition, so it is a grave regression to require object store when verifying such a bundle. On the other hand, a bundle that cannot be cloned from but only usabel for an incremental sneaker-net update needs receiving repository anyway, so it is perfectly fine to require object store.
