I would like to see this eventually too. However, we don't have a capability to stop it from happening, other than our current method of relying on people to do the right thing. That could effectively mean that anyone could inadvertently hold up shipping a release at "the edge of space" through a bad push. What if we were to graduate this requirement at the point when we have automatic tools that give us better certainty that broken deps won't happen except in dire circumstances? -- Paul W.
