Dependency upper bounds #371

Closed ocramz closed 6 months ago

ocramz commented 9 months ago
  1. WHY
  2. They are such a waste of time. E.g. in the past couple months alone I had to patch scotty to accept higher versions of bytestring and text.
  3. Nothing, neither PVP, nor SemVer, nor any amount of similar hand-written metadata, indicates that a dependency changing version will break any downstream library. This can only be observed experimentally.
  4. Shall we just get rid of the ones that don't explicitly break the interface?
