The problem with uninstalling all dependencies is that then I need to keep track how things happened, not just what they are now. One of the advantages of my backwards approach is that you can simply drop all your existing things into the per user autoload directory and they'll be managed.

Uninstall would only be for individual packages if added but it's easy to do so it'll be in the next test version. Maybe an info command to show the used paths would make sense too.

So the only change you want is showing the number of installed/updated packages?
