This is an extreme assumption that somehow blindly implies that
dependency resolving does not and probably won't exist if this feature
exists. My refute to that is: apt. Just because you remove one gem
and another relies on a dependency the removed relied on does not mean
you cannot resolve dependencies and figure out if it's still needed by
another gem, as a matter of fact, bundler already has most of that
built into it and on tap, it just needs to be reworked a bit and
presto, you have an apt like resolver.
