That is, the right way, not the other way round.

With respect to the "principle of least surprise" and package managers, it is my expectation that package managers should only download what I tell them to; nothing else. If a package has prerequisites, the package manager should inform me and stop. Better package managers allow me to delay and/or delegate all or part of the decision making.

    Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more
    violent. It takes a touch of genius—and a lot of courage to move in
    the opposite direction.


Large is wasteful:
