more specific bundle targets

Right now the Bundle subsystem lets you deploy a bundle to a group of platforms, if you also specify the absolute path to where you want the bundle to go. 
What are the technical impediments from opening that up to support deploying a bundle to a group of JBAS servers? e.g. the bundle would by default go into the /deploy folder of each JBAS instance. Maybe you could also provide an additional folder structure beneath /deploy into which the bundle would go

Couple of issues spring to mind
1) I recall seeing in a BZ that we can't deploy two bundles to one path (which makes sense if the bundle is going to "own" that leaf folder) but this makes deploying multiple apps (bundles) into /deploy problematic. 
2) JBAS7 is going to support a much more centralized deployment model, e.g. you talk to the domain controller not the individual nodes to do deployment. I know that Bundles are not resource type specific, but is there anyway we could make these two concepts play nicely?

Thanks
