Well, that looks like a combinatorial explosion of library versions depending themselves on all kinds of combinations of other library versions. Who is going to maintain the A' and B' libraries? A' with C_1, D_1, ..., Z_1 as input, A'' with C_2, D_1, ..., Z_1 as input, and 2^24-2 other variants. You get the idea... Will we not end up with something like a "docker image" for sage, with a bespoke Python library graph for every Python application? Something like Rust, actually, but made worse through propagation instead of static linking. Andreas
