I have no use case for the feature, sorry. The activities I'm mostly concerned with stand alone.
But if an activity is written to use the feature, a dependency is created; my question is _will_ it be encoded, and what are the effects on other actions that change the list of activities? What you describe as non-essential is a type of dependency. Do you have a use case for that?
