When reading patch-by-patch, I initially was concerned about the
behavior change. However, patch 3 removes a long-standing TODO
comment _that I wrote_ so I'm inclined to take the change. I
didn't see anything critical to change about these patches.

That said, we may have something for #leftoverbits:

How could we create a toggle to re-enable the die() if desired?

Perhaps a user _wants_ to fail on bad URIs instead of spending
time on an incomplete bundle advertisement and expensive fetch
from the remote.

Such an option could be a follow-up, now that you've implemented
the _gently() version and the bundle URI machinery could decide
for itself whether this is a hard failure or not.
