Um. I don't see how you can possibly make that argument. There are
multiple package reviews which were abandoned because they needed
extensive work on unbundling and the submitters did not want to commit
to that ongoing work. I'm not *guessing* this, it's explicitly written
down in the comments.

In what sense can that 'arguably' be something to do with
'bureaucracy'? Are you saying we should have bundling rules, but then
say they're 'bureaucracy' and ignore them?
