It doesn't matter much what FESCO says of believes in this case.

ATM, neither is the technical infrastructure is in place (it is 
evolving) nor are impact/consequences clear not are the prototypical 
use-cases of soft/weak-deps clear.

@Thorsten: I do not think, weak/soft-deps are of use in your case. 
Unfortunatley, I do not have solution, either.
