8 How is this different from your suggestion
9 (which you *claim* to be non-broken):
10
11 User installs foo-1.1-r1
12 Developer makes foo-1.1-r2
13 foo-1.1* is removed from the tree
14 User syncs
15
16 In fact, the result is completely the same,
17 no matter whether you have minor revisions or not,
18 and no matter whether you have static or dynamic deps.
19
20 What is *actually* broken here is that the user
21 has installed a package which is not maintained
22 anymore: *This* is what needs to be fixed.
23 This issue is completely independent of static
24 vs. dynamic deps.
25 You misuse this problem as a strawman, only.
