I'm not sure I follow you on this. I was talking about verification. Let's have 
updates A and B in Bodhi, A depends on B. AutoQA will say "pushing A+B is 
fine", "pushing A alone is not fine", "pushing B alone is fine". That means the 
developer will not be required to manually specify "my update A depends on 
update B", because we wouldn't push A alone anyway.

But I don't think this is happening too soon so this discussion is really 
academical.
