Hi, I believe he means, that the dependency resolution algorithm used by csw (in the past with pkg-get, and also now) is suboptimal (which is not a shame, as most others are, too). For example, speaking in directed graph language (#0), Blastwave doesn't ensure that cycles are avoided. For more analysis of different existing approaches see (#1).
