First it could be worse :) We cannot build a full ecosystem without
capturing dependencies.
Second we are (christophe) working since a year on the Cargo Package
Manager.
[Christophe knows many package manager (Java ruby and others).]
With Cargo every single package expresses its dependencies instead of
using external packages such as a Configuration.
So we will see how it goes.

One of the things that annoy me is how many Configurations and
Baselines pollute the package space that are of little interest to the
user. It would be nice to group them and filter them out of Nautilus
unless user asks for them.
I really like this new approach great work.

Indeed.
We will see what we get at the end but may be something like
MyProject
AnotherProject
System
LowLevel
And people will not be overwhelmed by hundreds of nice packages. :)
I think that touching package contents under the assumption that the
package list is too long in the UI
is the wrong way to look at the problem.
Packages are unit of deployment and we need Projects - unit of
knowledge. And the UI should shows both
depending on the view we want to get.
