That's not really the problem we're discussing.  We're talking about the
case in which you try to install an old bundle onto a new build, or vice
versa.  RPM solves this problem by just not letting you do that.  You
can't install a rh9 RPM on FC8.

I don't think many people around here would be happy to require all new
.xo bundles for every release.  I don't have a solution to suggest, but I
don't think classic dependency management is going to do the trick.
