Yes, I know that. I'm fully aware that our suggestion is kind of a
workaround, but it works fairly good in pratice for a wide range of
applications.
Packages are one story of development. Other stories are exemplary
applications that depends on a certain set of packages. Such a set is an
important fine tuning (-> matching revisions or tags etc.) in other
words such a set is know-ledge about package combination that could be
shared between different projects relying on the same exemplary
application. It might minimize the barrier for new contributors and
early adopters - IMO that's fairly important too. That's my driving force :)

Dominik
