Yes L2 bundle has its original usage, whether it can be extended for some 
broader case can be discussed in the WG.

Yes for VTN there needs to be some constraints about the affinity rules of FA, 
a simple case is to have dedicated affinity included for each FA, and the 
exclude rules in this case may not apply. This could be further clarified in 
next version.
