Oh but I do. If you remember I said that the best practice for
collaboration is to use a proper directory structure and an SCM. This
bundling business is only interesting to me as a one-shot contribution,
this is just about a portable LyX document. Collaboration isn't about
everyone working as he wants, it's about agreing to a directory
structure and stick to it IMHO.
You can create a
directory, put all figures inside it. The current implementation will
not be in the way at all. Remember, I had been told that 'I' should
change my working habit to adapt to the KISS structure.
As a matter if fact, the core value of the current implementation is
that it assures backward compatibility to file format,
Mine too. Except for the 'bundle' flag.

Mine too.
and is not in the way of however users
would like to organize their files.
Those people don't (or should not) need this bundled format for
collaboration. This is I think the core of the incomprehension: I don't
see bundling as a way to facilitate continuous collaboration. I see
bundling as a way to easily send a compilable document. Anything else
is just sugar and not strictly necessary IMHO.
