The engine doesn't make many assumptions about the desires of the
bootstrapper application today. That's purposeful because it allows the
bootstrapper application to do things that would otherwise be impossible.
So, yes, the engine could make assumptions about the correct way to handle
packages after restart but it doesn't today. We have to think through
assumptions very carefully and generally ensure they are overridable for
the situations where the assumption does not apply... or the engine can
just not make an assumption. <smile/>
In v1 (Burn is basically v1 or maybe v1.0.1 in v3.7), we chose not to make
a lot of assumptions to provide flexibility and, honestly, get it done.
