It's difficult to get all dependencies when not all sources have been
yet
downloaded.
With DIP11, yes. With a traditional-style package manager, no.
With either style, you need to download a package in order to determine
if you need to download other packages (package a may depend on package
b even though your project does not depend on package b). The DIP11
version does this JIT, whereas your version does it before compilation.
It's not really any different.

No, not if you have a single meta file with all the dependencies.
