ofcourse I do like the concept of bundles, but with reserved caution.

Truely speaking skins should be more a GUI and Cookbook its added/extra 
funtions. But lets not confuse CSS capability with functions, rather its core 
gui function. 

One suggestion I could make is if any skin designers come up of a wiki 
function, rather than directly introducing in the skin first publish it in 
Cookbook section and then make explicit its use in their skin.

Than users would/can at any time know which/what to disable, rather tweaking 
around the skin to figure out.... Oh! this is a wiki function directly 
enabled... so on.
