> This is a wish/improvement to support Automatic Lifecycle of features (and
> bundles and configfiles).
> (Basically the same thing as "aptitude" does for Debian packages.)
> Explicitly installed features would have "manual" installation flag set,
> others (needed as dependencies) will be called "automatic".
> As soon as an automatic feature has no manual ancestor,
> it would be (attempted to get) uninstalled.
> So that "feature:install ${top-level-feature}"
> would install the tree, marking only the top level feature as manual;
> and "feature:uninstall ${top-level-feature}" (perhaps with some switch, such
> as --uninstall-unused)
> would do what ordinary user expects it to do, namely
> it would remove the top-level feature
> together with (now unused part of) all its dependencies.
> Note that handling of config files would be left to bundles, they should know
> by themselves when and how to "un-apply" any applied configuration file.
