That's really bad policy -- it's pushing a package manager limitation onto users in a visible and highly messy way. Really, it needs to go in the short term (along with collision-protect) to avoid this kind of nonsense on upgrades, and in the long term be fixed by getting rid of blockers in favour of a more verbose syntax that gives the package manager the information it needs to handle all this itself. -- Ciaran McCreesh
