gtristan opened a new issue #1521: URL: https://github.com/apache/buildstream/issues/1521
Currently we consistently support the `--except` argument in any command which supports the `--deps` argument, except for the `bst build` command where it would not make sense. For artifact commands, this is a little more tricky as we accept artifact names and we cannot reliably construct the entire build graph (as some artifacts in the tree might be remote, and we don't have the declarations for the originating elements on hand). This issue is an acknowledgement of this shortcoming, perhaps there is a middle ground which can be reached where `bst artifact` commands can support `--except` only for targets specified by their in-tree element names.
