I don't think having exposed requirements would explode the time needed
to calculate the dependency tree because this does not add paths to the
tree. It only validates or invalidates paths.

And if time for dependency resolution would become a real problem, there
are ways to solve that. One could be making pre-calcultated caches of
parts of tree/paths.
