Very cool.

However, I am _really really_ starting to wonder whether we need a Kwalitee rating based on *excessive usage of prerequisites*.

How about two; one, a point for not having lots of prerequisites,
and another, a point for having lots of prerequisites.  Where
lots is defined as the same number in both cases.

Yep :)

And therein lies the problem.

Working out when a dependency is important and when it's useless, or vanity, or lazyness (good or bad) or whatever requires a human judgment call.

So we can't really do anything about it.

Is it OK to use a lot of dependencies if they all work? :)
