Hi,
We have been waiting for this feature for a really long time. We will use it
mainly when dealing with students who require documents for school work. The
idea is that they receive reading lists and then request the titles from the
local library. They don't actually care which particular title they get, but
they need one from the list. This feature would be very helpful in processing
this kind of requests. 
Yes, Koha is a complex system. Because it is global and reflects different
approaches to library work. Bundles of titles are actually an extension of
this, which is almost done now. A sort of generalization of the ability to make
reservations over a list of titles, extended with the ability to define groups
more comprehensively than from search results.
I'm in favor of pushing the feature into production. At the same time, let's
debate how to deal with requests for complex functionality in general. Would it
make sense to design functionality more generally and then provide extensions
with plugins? We also need to keep sustainability in mind.
