It's confusing to have multiple bundles. When
we annouced the final version of GlassFish (v1) was available
we got lots of questions around clustering and EE features and
when those would be available.
I think the question is why should there be more than one? If
someone doesn't want to use the EE features then he doesn't
have to. And if in the future the user does want to use that feature
well then it is a matter of enabling it.
One bundle means a very simple story from the user's perspective.
