+This package allows us to depend on other modules, to _force_ these other
+modules to upgrade to some minimum version. This allows us to express "co
+dependency" requirements in cases where this module doesn't strictly speaking
+_depend_ on another module, but conflicts with some version of that module.
+We are using this here to depend on deprecated modules that have been
+merged into this package. 
+
+In practice, this means:
+
+1. Packages imported here _will not_ end up in the final binary as nothing
+   imports this package.
+2. Modules containing these packages will, unfortunately, be downloaded as
+   "dependencies" of this package.
+3. Anyone using this module will be forced to upgrade all co-dependencies.
