Comment:

 The bundle is meant to be self-contained, such that if you securely delete
 it, it's really gone.

 This property is hard to maintain if we support multi-user, unless we make
 the data dir world-writable.. I'm not sure that is the solution either,
 because then we'd have other users complaining about how their computer's
 Guest accounts can modify/delete the TBB...
