While I can concur that it is good to have more functionality, why was it 
deemed necessary to entirely deprecate 'depexp'? I think now that the Yocto 
Project is maturing, it would be good to pay more attention to retaining 
backwards compatibility.

I may have missed it, but was there a discussion on the mailing lists about 
deprecating and replacing 'depexp'?

Cheers,
