Besides the mentioned pain with bundling, I also don't think it would
be useful at all. For normal remote execution, you want to install
BuildGrid on a different system than BuildStream and there will
typically be multiple clients. So I don't see in what way bundling
would help with potential incompatibilities.

If BuildGrid breaks compatibility with a particular BuildStream release
at some point, we need to clearly document which version of BuildGrid
can be used with which version of BuildStream in the installation
instructions. However, I don't see a point of actual bundling. Or am I
misunderstanding something here?

Cheers,
