Bundles don't change anything about versioning. Bundles simply include other gems with them. For example say a gembundle "foo" includes the gem bar-1.0.0, but you already have bar-1.0.1 installed. Doesn't matter, bar-1.0.0 will be installed and if foo, or some other gem in foo, uses gem 'bar', '=1.0.0' then 1.0.0 will be used. otherwsie 1.0.1 will be used. Which is exactly how gems works now irregardless of bundles. That's the key thing about bundles, they do nothing more than provide a way to distribute multiple gems in a single package.
