That's a usecase, I didn't see at the beginning. 

For me the first usecase was, to create "proof of concepts" + some docs, 
that a user can easily include ... AND .. delete, after the tiddlers are 
not used anymore.

I was thinking about that, some time ago. ... The TW .multids-like 
structure may be an option to store comments. The .multids parser already 
understands them. So we could re-use existing code, without too many 
modifications. .multids files are part of eg: languages 
<https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/tree/master/languages/de-DE>. ... 

If a line starts with a hash sign: # ... it will be treated as a comment. 

The problem I saw, was, that we already have 2 formats, that do very 
similar things: DataTiddlers <https://tiddlywiki.com/#DataTiddlers>: 

 - JSON tiddlers <https://tiddlywiki.com/#JSONTiddlers>
 - Dictionary tiddlers <https://tiddlywiki.com/#DictionaryTiddlers> 
 
JSON tiddlers don't allow comments, because of the specs. 
Dictionary tiddlers are very similar to .multids, but lack comments and the 
internal API isn't easy to use. ... I didn't want to create a 3rd format. 

IMO a bit more thoughts may be needed.

Like an "uninstall-button" :) ... Yea, if you have 9 bundles with several 
tiddlers installed, it can be quite challenge to uninstall them.
