I later start using peak-rules in my own simple scripts (without a setup.py or other explicit dependency information), and yet later decide to uninstall "SuperWebFramework". If I understand the proposal correctlythe uninstallation of "SuperWebFrameWork" would break my scripts.Yes of course.
IMHO that is a bad experience for the user, because it is very unintuitive that I have to explicitly install something that's already installed to ensure that it doesn't go away in the future. This might work in a serious development environment, but can end up to be very annoying and confusing for casual users.
