Such a feature would mean all dependencies would be flagged for downgrades too, except when two packages a package depends on have been upgraded. then an intermediate version with package A_old and B_new. That should even be possible in the *usual* case, but we *would* need a plan for when that wasn't possible, which would mean forcing downgrade of package B because A_new cannot be satisfied because package C depends on either being compatible, and we're kind of dissolving the foundations of KISS on which arch is built. See what I mean? cheers! mar77i
