Hi! 
Any other thoughts on it? 
Any side effects or implications of the approach 
above that would prevent from going this way?
I opened a bug in bugzilla: 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=139064

I expect that this may be a big change to the code as probably something
like BundleRefresh implementing BundleOperation will be needed.

I could help implementing but some guidence on the design would
be appreciated just to know where these kind of things fit best.
