That assures that when installing a package (non-modular, or from a default stream), no non-default stream becomes enabled. I agree that the documentation could be understood in the other way, you pointed, and that is that every package of a default stream _regardless of a context_ must not depend on a non-default stream. The documentation could be clarified like this: Packages provided at runtime by at least one context of a default stream of a module MUST depend only on packages provided by packages from default module streams or the non-modular package set. By extension, at least one context of the default streams of a module MUST NOT have a dependency on any non-default stream on each platfrom. But it becomes less comprehensive. -- Petr
