--- Comment #3 from Jeremy Newton <[email protected]> ---
So some more information from a ROCm developer, we were in a meeting that
included Tom and me:

The bundled tensile is a fork, and is expected to diverge from tensile (if it
hasn't already) and become a replacement for tensile in rocm (other libs are
supposed to eventually call rocblaslt).
I'd rather just move forward, and we can drop tensile later if need be.

A bundle is a bundle, you need to add it regardless. The provides is more of a
flag. I believe the intention is if they a security issue or similar critical
issue in the library, the maintainer can look for the provides to notify the
other maintainer that there's a critical bug that needs fixing. This could also
be a CVE, a license issue, a copyright issue, a legal issue, etc. Providing a
version is pretty important too for tracking.

E.g. say library A has a CVE and package B bundles A, then it's easy to query
for "provides: A" to see what packages need updating, which would be A and B.
