But a build-time dependency often automatically results in a hard runtime dependency, e.g., for C/C++ libraries. A common issue in the Core vs. Extras days was that a package in Core had to be compiled without some compile-time-optional feature because that feature would have depended on a library in Extras. The above proposal would not solve this issue.
