Literally every orchestra and ensemble I’ve ever worked with as composer or 
arranger — which now numbers in the hundreds — has specifically requested that 
no bowings be in the part(s). They always have their own concermaster fill in 
*their* preferred bowings, and then the librarian copies parts for the players. 
(Yes, this means different orchestras have performed different bowings in the 
same piece!)

As far as I can tell, that’s the standard in the classical music world. <shrug>

Cheers,
Kieren.
