IMO, having every dependency look like:
project_name >=X.y.z <X.999
Is too cumbersome.
Maybe, we should put this into perspective:
What part of our time do we spend on the specification
of dependancies? 0.01 per cent?
True. However, the problem does not arise when specifying the
dependency. The problem will arise when the dependencies were too loose
and all of a sudden a version that's "too new" is pulled in (because it
also satisfies the dependency constraint).
Furthermore, a new major version probably introduces some backward
incompatibilities. However that does not mean that a given
component will not work with the new major version.
In fact, I rarely have to change my components to support new
major versions.
Thus, it may not be that often we have to specify "< X.9999".
Yes, I suspect the same. Also, I think that we can try to be less
disruptive in the future.
