Yes, agreed, but that makes it all the more imperative that we find a good 
way to report dependencies.

Using headers as the dependency metric isn't working.  We need to figure 
how to make a "library dependency" metric work.

We probably need a FAQ entry that explains why we often use fine grained 
headers, and their advantages.
