I can only think that this is a mistake.

Also, I think the narrow range is overly conservative even in cases where we use friends or internals between p2 bundles. For example Dean was adding a new, fully compatible API in p2.core, which broke the above bundle dependency, requiring p2.engine to be changed for no good reason.
