- <p>This interface contains functionality which we intend to incorporate
- into the <tp:dbus-ref
- namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy">Channel</tp:dbus-ref> interface
- in future. It should be considered to
- be conceptually part of the core Channel interface, but without
- API or ABI guarantees.</p>
-
- <tp:rationale>
- <p>If we add new functionality to the Channel interface, libraries
- that use generated code (notably telepathy-glib) will have it as
- part of their ABI forever, meaning we can't make incompatible
- changes. By using this interface as a staging area for future
- Channel functionality, we can try out new properties, signals
- and methods as application-specific extensions, then merge them
- into the core Channel interface when we have enough implementation
- experience to declare them to be stable.</p>

- <p>The name is by analogy to Python's <code>__future__</code>
- pseudo-module.</p>

- <p>A channel's Bundle property can never change.</p>
-
- <p>Older connection managers might not have this property. Clients

- distinct from all other bundles, which has no additional
