I don't think having exposed requirements would explode the time needed to calculate the dependency tree because this does not add paths to the tree. It only validates or invalidates paths. And if time for dependency resolution would become a real problem, there are ways to solve that. One could be making pre-calcultated caches of parts of tree/paths. -- Nicolas Sebrecht
