Joe,
I think this would be pretty cool. I've often been frustrated trying
to get information out of the classloader/dependency viewer.
I certainly wouldn't rule out including this in our normal assembly.
Will need to see what your solution looks like. You might want to
consider a graphical view and a text-based view of the information.
The current text-based view has most/all of the information. However,
it's not very usable. Possible that with a bit of re-engineering, the
views could be a lot more useful.

Hi Erik,
Originally I'm just going off the idea of it being a neat plugin
that the community or anyone can use. Just a sort of tool. I guess
there is no telling how novel others will find this piece, but it's
a starting point and hopefully a useful contribution at that. But
to answer you original question, it's creation isn't expected to be
in assembly or replacing/upgrading the current pieces.... merely an
alternative.
Yes, right now the dojo 1.x.x is looking to be the strongest
contender and i want to keep consistency with what else we have in
AG now. I'll provide updates later on what specifically for open
opinion.
Thanks for your thoughts,

Joe,
If this is something that is intended for eventual inclusion in a full
assembly/replacing or upgrading the classloader and dependency
viewers, then you should probably be looking into using dojo 1.0.2,
especially giving that the current stuff is already written to use
dojo 0.4.3, and shouldn't be that completely terrible of a task to
migrate them / improve them.
Thanks,
