I agree that it is very tempting to declare that we do not manually "maintain" the dependency list and force people without -MMD to recompile whenever any unrelated header changes. Especially that this patch only works on the 'master' branch and upwards, and does not even work on 'maint', let alone 1.9 or 1.8.5 maintenance tracks. Let's consider the merit of that approach after 2.1 is out.
