Shouldn't we just be saying "don't reexport entire modules from other packages"? Is there a scenario where this is useful? One scenario I can see is perhaps inside groups of packages maintained by the same author or in the same source tree, but then the author can bump all the packages in sync if necessary.
Btw, if one does re-export entire modules (w/o filtering via import/export lists), you simply have to put an upper bound at the minor-version level of the package you're re-exporting. Maybe a note making that more explicit would be sensible (IMO it's actually just an implication of the current PVP but making it more obvious wouldn't hurt).
