It is all started from the Geert's complain about use of "configuration" because we often that configuration trough the code. Personally I don't see any issue there, but for clarity we can use "integration" instead of "configuration", so "integration bundle".
I guess "bundle" initially came from our use of OSGi and it does have certain recognition in the OSGi community (a good thing), while the rest of the world would use "plugin" (or less often "module") for the same thing.
