Yes... one of them... imagine your kit is set in openerp as stockable,
to_produce because you really need to launch a production order to build the
pack. So... (mandatory) you need having linked a BOM to the product.  If you
sale directly in openerp, you will create a production order on sale
confirmation for this product but If you download from magento... and you
only connect nan_product_pack.. you will also have components on sales
order... Confirming the order you will have components on packing list and
also a production order to produce the kit... It will be very confusing for
user and you will have to delete or cancel someone of them for not duplicate
components consuming.

Another little problem... People who is using BOMs to make kits will have to
redefine products_packs even if they have configured boms by now.

So... I still think that both options should be considered... and user
should decide wich of them to use on each kind of product. I understand this
is the most difficult road... but it will be most flexible option.

Just another 2 cents... :)
So... I think it should be flexible enough to
