Commerce Kickstart 2.x get the Commerce Bulk Product Creation not work.

I have to disable the module "Commerce Kickstart Product UI" to get the add bulk link to show.

I just wonder why the contrib module of a Kickstart changed the behavior of the original Commerce modules.

And is it necessary to add over 20 additional contrib modules to build a Kickstart? A user should build their store base on the Kickstart or he should remove the Kickstart and all the contrib modules to build a store just base on the modules listing on http://drupal.org?

If the bulk add link doesn't show then that's a bug and it will be examined.

To ensure better UX and user friendliness.

Yes, if you want every cool feature Kickstart has to offer. Kickstart v2 beta1 will allow you to install a stripped down version, and select the individual features you might want during install, so that should help people who are starting from scratch and don't want all the demo store stuff.

it seems the issue is with commerce_kickstart_product_ui_menu_local_tasks_alter hook function, which unset all actions links, before create the new link for "Add product".
patch to solve this, commited it here : https://code.drupalcommerce.org/#/c/171/

I'm using the Feb 22 2013 2.4 version from the tar ball, and I cannot find the link after enabling the bulk product creation module. Where is it in the kickstart custom admin menus?

ah, I added a new product variation type (admin/commerce/config/product-variation-types), the checkbox for use during bulk add was selected by default.
After making it, then under admin/commerce/products there is a big blue button that says: + Bulk add products :)
