I remember hearing that the "bundles" ALA class packs are temporary and while the individual items will remain in the store, the packs are meant to be temporary deals. With the introduction of a new pack tomorrow, will the INF pack be removed, or will it remain in the store for a while longer?

Re: [Question] - Will the INF pack be removed from the store?

They could do like a page list.
Similar to the class modification page with a page for bundles for each class, and then a specific tab for skins and multi class packs.

Like:
Pathfinder --> Pathfinder bundles
Sentinel --> Sentinel bundles
Inflitrator -->Inflitrator bundles
Technician --> Technician bundles
Soldier --> Soldier bundles
Raider --> Raider bundles
Doombringer --> Doombringer bundles
Juggernaut --> Juggernaut bundles
Brute --> Brute bundles
Skins --> Skin bundles
Multipack --> Multipack bundles
