Yes, and? If your dependency parser's time isn't "so tiny it makes absolutely no difference compared to the filesystem access time needed to get the metadata in the first place" then you're doing something severely wrong. And if we are going the "parser time" route, then given the heavy intersection between build and run dependencies, the overall amount of data to be processed in the common case that all dependencies are required is smaller with unified DEPENDENCIES. -- Ciaran McCreesh
