The difference between this variable and the variable in #3736 (path to cache)
is that the path to the cache would be useful to provide on the command-line to
an ExePackage element. The number of times apply is going to be executed is
only really useful to the BA for its progress bar and thus not a good candidate
for a Variable.
I’ll let Bob weigh in on the way to incorporate this into WiX v3.x (if at all
<smile/>). It sounds like you agree the best change in WiX v4.0 is to enhance
the interface, which is cool. So, if this does get added as a variable in WiX
v3.x then I guess it gets added as deprecated right out of the gate (which is
kinda’ odd).
PS: I think pulling pull request discussions here is generally “A Good Thing”.

Subject: [WiX-devs] WIXFEAT:4413 Add WixBundleNumberOfApplyPhases
I'm going to bring this one to wix-devs, too.
Sure, that's how to do it in v4.0. But what's the alternative in v3.9? Add a
new callback in IBootstrapperApplication? What about feature requests like
http://wixtoolset.org/issues/3736/, where they're asking for a global variable
that has an even narrower scope?
p.s. Note to self: pull request comment emails may not give the whole comment.

I really don't like this as a global variable that is only useful during the
Apply() lifetime. This really should be a value provided to OnApplyBegin().
It's at the perfect place for it.
