Just to make clear initial intention, this is not about using *only*
bundles to keep metadata info out of sugar, e.g. in case of
http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1636, bundles are not useful. So we can
use both methods and make this using smooth.

But since bundles also useful e.g. for uploding sugar objects to/from
file servres etc., if could be useful is using one bundle type instead of
.xo, .xol and .xoj bundles. So we can move difference betwean various
bundles usage(for activities, libraries, Journal objects) to choosing
the right set of METADATA fields
