No, it's specific to failings in the way you've written your proposal, which in turn are due to you wanting to implement it as a quick rendering hack in Portage. Unfortunately, the way you define things in terms of rendering dependencies forces everyone to emulate these failings so as to deliver a compliant handling of the || ( dep:build? ( a ) dep:run? ( b ) ) case. -- Ciaran McCreesh
