the readme says following
"
This bundle includes fixes which can cause a plan change. These are installed in a disabled state by default.
To display such fixes included in the bundle , execute the following to get the list of bugs included in the current bundleSQL> connect / as sysdba
SQL> set serveroutput on;
SQL> exec dbms_optim_bundle.getBugsforBundle
To display such fixes included in all bundles till now say BP12, execute the following SQL> connect / as sysdba
SQL> set serveroutput on;
SQL> exec dbms_optim_bundle.getBugsforBundle(12)
To switch ON all fixes with plan changes included in bundles till nowSQL> exec dbms_optim_bundle.enable_optim_fixes('ON','Scope');
Where Scope can be either of MEMORY or SPFILE or BOTH, the default is MEMORY.
To get the information on what needs to be added to init.ora to enables these fixesSQL> set serveroutput on;
SQL> exec dbms_optim_bundle.enable_optim_fixes('ON','INITORA');
These can be disabled by following the steps mentioned below
% sqlplus /nolog
SQL> connect / as sysdba
SQL> exec dbms_optim_bundle.enable_optim_fixes('OFF','Scope');
Where Scope can be either of MEMORY or SPFILE or BOTH, the default is MEMORY.
To disable the fixes enabled using init.ora , please remove the earlier added entries.
If you are rolling back then the above steps that were done to enable/disable fixes needs be undone manually

I am not sure if I am happy with the fact that BP can change the execution plans but I am happy that by default those changes are not put and Oracle gives you the choice
anyway on our environment this gave following
exec dbms_optim_bundle.getBugsforBundle
BP12:
