So if we require *this* version of a bundle

If a specific version is required, then it's up to its direct consumer to express the restriction/range. Not something the feature should be responsible of.

 

And as one could describe version ranges on bundles as well I see this
is almost never used correctly and P2 does a bad job in deciding the
right things then (not P2 fault of cause).

Maybe the fact that feature have some responsibilities that shouldn't be theirs actually prevent developers from being driven towards doing things where they make most sense (eg adding ranges in bundle requirements)
