Are ES6 modules in browsers going to get loaded level-by-level?

Not "bundling" in full; your previous post talked about HTTP2 but mixed
dependency handling and bundling. You seemed not to advert to the
problem of one big bundle being updated just to update one small
member-of-bundle. One can be skeptical of HTTP2 but the promise is there
to beat bundling.
So in a future where ES6 or above is baseline for web developers, and
HTTP2 is old hat, there won't be the full bundling and module body
desugaring you seem to be insisting we must have in perpetuity. (Yes,
there will be dependency graphs expressed concisely -- that's not
bundling.) Right?
