    "yum install dependency"

    "Here's your requested package, its dependencies, weak dependendencies, and any updates to other packages you need."

    My last boss was a magpie dev -- always looking at the shiny new things, regardless of how useful or fitting they were. He wanted to write an AI to handle support messages. Ergh.
