Some python modules have been added for the sake of resolving a dependency while others have no consumer in userland but are expected to be installed as "standalone" and consumed by users directly. Also I am not sure I understood which type of dependencies are considered here: - resolved within userland either directly or added explicitly in the manifest - build requirements - dependencies detected by pipdeptree (which are a superset of what pkg/userland detects) I just want to make sure that we do not miss some border effects. > > > To me this seems a bit of overhead, like removing the mkdocs, cython, > numpy > > packages completely from the tree instead of updating them. > > Feel free to create PRs to get them back. > > > We therefore lose track of what was in the tree and people may start from > > scratch all over again. > > > > Maybe you intend to provide some level of automation later? > > Maybe.
