No, it is so the resolver can resolve dangling service references, installing the bundles would be bad because it would violate the contract of the Aries application installer which allows you to resolve without installing the application. Also when we are installing in an isolated way we need to know the resolution prior to installation, so we would need to install, uninstall then reinstall.
Your namespace handler must cope, what is the problem?
