Unfortunately, what it *seems* and what it *is* are two entirely |
| 6 |
different things, and the whole thing breaks down when post-dependent |
| 7 |
packages have dependencies themselves. If ASAP were specified, you'd be |
| 8 |
introducing a situation where the set of packages that can be relied |
| 9 |
upon by a particular package depends upon whether that package is being |
| 10 |
installed as a target or as a dependency of something else. |

Mandated ASAP simply isn't logically consistent. |
