It's my understanding that most changes discussed on lkml are provided
as a series of patches.  Bazaar bundles are intended as a direct
replacement for patches in that use case.
As _series_ of patches. You have git-format-patch + git-send-email
to format and send them, git-am to apply them (as patches, not as branch).

I was under an impression that user sees only mega-patch of all the
revisions in bundle together, and rest is for machine consumption only.
Nothing prevents you from using series of bundles.

A bundle for a single revision looks like a patch with a few comments
on top and bottom. _If_ you have several revisions in your patch, you
get the diff as human readable, and the intermediate revisions as
MIME-encoded.

For big changes, people do send several bundles.

So, a bundle is a direct replacement for a patch, not for series of
patches.
