And that's fine, but what I''m going to do is make both for a simple experiment that users can participate in and make patches for if they like. People look too much at the "type" and attribute that to packaging. I still hold that one marker per dependency would cover everything and you would end up with a small number of handlers, but I'll make another flavour which uses "kind" decorators then you users can throw whatever you like as use cases and we'll see how both unfold. Easy enough to do with the components, just flip one implementation out for the other and we can try one, the other, or any variant in between. It's something that users feel concerned about so we'll throw it out there as a little hack-a-thon as the debate will go on ad nauseum. -- jvz.
