I don't think we have made up our mind what *exactly* we want from |
| 21 |
deps. Just because we have something semi-correct right now, doesn't |

| 23 |
amount of noise in here I won't ever get any definitive answer. |

So we can modify vdb now? What about all those applications which |
| 33 |
obviously are broken due to that? |
