My issue is the misdirection discussing lazy filelist downloading as a
"solution" to the "problem" of huge amounts of data that is forced to
be downloaded and loaded.
The issue has been discussed repeatedly without a solution.
Adding -- and maintaining -- patterns or whitelist exceptions, which moves file
dependencies into primary.xml is actually an approach that solves the problem, and scales
to multiple repos as well, each of which also will have their own patterns and whitelist.
