Is that really possible? I don't know how requested variants work internally.
My hope would be that if I request the universal variant for port X, then it is
recorded in the registry that the universal variant of port X was requested,
but the universal variant is not marked as requested for any of X's
dependencies, just as the X port itself is marked as requested but its
dependencies are not.
That would require 95% of an implementation of general variant
dependencies, fixing #126. As things stand, +universal added because a
dependent needs it is a requested variant, and changing that on its own
would be bad because only requested variants are preserved when upgrading.
