At first sight, to me, it’s not entirely clear how to determine whether
something is to be upgraded in the presence of propagated inputs.
And more importantly, I think the “imperative” model is necessarily not
as expressive and “clean” as ‘--manifest’. There are tradeoffs to make.
In short, if we can fix it, that’s great; but otherwise I wouldn’t lose
my hair over it.
I hope that makes sense!
