I think you (Tarek) summarized the situation correctly. Higher-level tools will need to calculate the dependency graph to do anything useful with dependencies. But calculating the dep graph would STILL not allow them to do any handling of orphaned dependencies unless they have access to the bit of information provided by REQUESTED. And that bit of information is only useful if it is standardized between all tools.
