I think this really boils down to deciding on the tradeoff between correctness and speed. Even the example above shows that with dynamic rebuilds some manual rebuilds were needed, which I interpret as dynamic deps not being correct. Static deps go the other way around: they do lead to more rebuilds, and I think no one is denying that. However, they seem more predictable to me. Paweł
