We've made the decision that feature dependencies can be satisfied by immediate or transitive inclusion.  Since it is possible that features in the field rely on this behavior, we'd need a very good reason to break the old functionality.  Is there such a reason?

Comment 2 Lubos Trilety 2011-11-22 15:38:00 UTC

OK, agreed, wallaby doesn't necessary have to forbid such action, but at least it could print some warning if it happens.

Comment 3 Will Benton 2011-11-22 16:39:36 UTC

This is a job for the "wallaby lint" tool that we've talked about in the past; I'm marking this bug as such.
