That wouldn't work with the way the language is structured (imports). Just having a version tag is perhaps necessary, but, alas, not sufficient to deal with the entirety of dependency discovery/management. We have some primitives (canonical imports etc...). Solving availability by redundancy(since part of the issue is about distributed systems) may also tie into import rewritting, or import aliasing.. which could be done a few different ways. It's not a simple problem. > > Dne čtvrtek 27. října 2016 1:39:47 UTC+1 Axel Wagner napsal(a): >> >> So, the idea is to penalize people who a) have a different opinion about >> the usefulness of versioning or b) keep their APIs stable and don't see a >> need to version something that never changes? >> >> Needless to say, I consider that a bad idea (given, that I have strongly >> differing opinions about the usefulness of versioning).
