Yeah, it's too bad that you do that. If we don't have any indication
that something broke, it's hard to know to fix it :)

Fixing something like that in heat is really the wrong approach, IMHO.
You're working around the safety net that is in place, which is: "a
project gates on the things it depends on and thus when something in
that dependency breaks, we catch it immediately."
