Granular Includes

[robertmain]

Use globs instead of explicit top level file names. This makes it possible to only include specific SCSS files in applications that use this library

[cvrebert]

Globs in main are explicitly disallowed by the bower.json specification; see https://github.com/bower/spec/blob/master/json.md#main

[robertmain]

In that case perhaps you would consider a version that enumerated each sass file so that those of us using gulp don't have to have the entirety of bootstrap pulled in

[cvrebert]

That wouldn't be a valid main value either, per the spec ("Only one file per filetype.").
Personally, I advise against using Bower, due to these sorts of issues and the Bower project's general lack of progress in addressing them. Using npm instead is usually a viable option these days.
Otherwise, you can lobby for bower/spec#47 and/or set an appropriate overrides entry for Bootstrap in your project's bower.json

[cvrebert]

Or perhaps the gulp task you're using was written with incorrect assumptions about main and is thus buggy.

I'll just keep my fork open then
