Even if fully-qualified versions are used, is there anything to stop
someone from rebuilding bundles with changed content but reusing the same
version and qualifier? This is bad practice but I've heard of projects (not
at Eclipse) doing it and it would mean the only way to absolutely guarantee
immutability is for the aggregator to only pull bundles from the update
site when the aggregation file changes (as David suggested above).
