That's true, and it's why I brought up the cascading DEPEND bit in the 
original e-mail.

If we decide that a new dependency atom is what we need, I'd rather have 
the temporary solution be one that people have some motivation to 
change. Otherwise it won't be temporary, it'll just sit there and rot 
forever.

Thanks,
