9 The problem with this is that (already now) dependency checking and enforcing
10 is done per profile. And (as we've seen in a separate thread) via mask and
11 force files the deptree can look quite different.

13 So this would have to apply to *all* profiles of an arch, with a loss of
14 functionality. And with a loss of speed, there's a good reason why on arm e.g.
15 only one profile is stable.
