Currently, the IProductDescriptor only offers methods which work on the syntactical level of product files, i.e. getFeatures() returns the list of features in the product file regardless of whether these features are actually _contained_ in the product or not. This requires all users to re-implement the implications of useFeatures and the new 'type' attribute (see bug 325622). This is more complicated than necessary. The IProductDescriptor interface should be extended to also offer methods on the semantical level, e.g. getContentBundles() and getContentFeatures(), which hide the useFeatures/type attributes. This should probably be sufficient for all users, so I would even go as far as deprecating the syntactic methods.
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. If the bug is still relevant, please remove the "stalebug" whiteboard tag.
