Camllanguage and its libraries are not as widespread as gettext and libtool. So the idea of the bundles is tomake life of end-users simpler, but of course it also makes thelifeofdevelopers and maintainers a bit harder.
Well, what I can tell you with my Fedora on is that in Fedora we discourage bundling, because it in a nutshell raises a lot problems in maintenance, both for system-integrators (read: distros) and upstreams.
