[2]. If you've never had an upper bounds problem on a package you maintain, I'm happy for you, but there is mounting evidence that as a community, we are very bad guessers, on average.
I think upper bound with easy way to "slip" it (--allow-newer, as already implemented) is the best we can do. There's already a lot of evidence that guessing wrong in the other direction can and does break large chunks of the ecosystem --- as much as certain developers would prefer to ignore the fact and/or arrange that everyone other than them has to deal with the breakage. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
