Right, I totally missed that...
I'm not sure how to fix this. The bundles are dynamically opened by
the library, it is useless without them. Putting them in a separate
unversioned package won't work as it is because it would still make
two versions of the library impossible to coexist. Unless they don't
link with the library, in which case there's still the valid scenario
when the API changes and the old library is unable to load or work
with the new bundles.
I'd appreciate any suggestions.
