The main reason I don't do this is that the resolver's output focuses on what the resolver will do. This is a big help when you have 50 packages to upgrade, and one or two need to be tweaked to make the dependencies come out right. Otherwise you'd get a new big list of changes that will be made, and end up having to compare the new list to the old one to find out what happened.
